Danielle Queener

Class of 2008

From follower to leader . . .

“Throughout my school years and at church, I was always very involved—but not as a leader. It was through my time and experience at Trevecca that really allowed me to grow and develop into a leader. Before Trevecca I was not very confident about my leadership abilities.
 

“The nurturing environment at Trevecca made it easy for me to take on responsibilities that gave me confidence that I could serve in leadership roles. The smaller student population at Trevecca allowed me more opportunities to be involved in student government and other leadership positions. I know that I would not have had these same opportunities at a larger school.
 

“Moreover, my classroom experiences helped me gain other leadership skills. My professors encouraged me and gave me more opportunities to develop as a leader. The small class size allowed my professors to know me personally and recognize leadership qualities within me. They challenged me in ways that I might not have been at another school. My experiences at Trevecca have prepared me well for a career as a servant-leader in counseling.
 

Danielle was involved in the Trevecca Student Government Association during her four years at Trevecca; in her senior year she served as Associated Student Body President. She graduated magna cum laude in May of 2008 with a degree in psychology and is now making plans to attend graduate school to study counseling.


Empowering Students to Make the Leap

Trevecca is committed to empowering students to make the leap. Those leaps are as unique as the persons who make them, but all leaps involve growth or change in the life of a student. Some of those leap stories are presented here, and more stories will be added.
Do you have a "leap" story? If you do, Trevecca wants to have your story. Please send your story to myleap@trevecca.edu.
