When the school evaluated my student profile, they reviewed more\nthan just my GPA. While my academic resume was solid on paper, HSC showed\nequal, if not more, interest in who I was as a person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What activities have\nyou been involved with in on campus?<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My freshman year I was a walk-on member of the basketball team.\nSince then I have let basketball go to pursue a higher GPA, become a Resident Advisor,\nand serve as vice president of the Minority Student Union. I have also been\nchosen to be a student member of the Intercultural Affairs Committee and made\nsignificant motions to found a NAACP chapter on campus, in addition to joining\nthe radio and music production club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What have you\nenjoyed most about the Wilson Leadership Fellows Program?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have found great value in the skills that the Wilson Center\nteaches about commitment and time management. As a freshman, the program can be\nchallenging at times because it requires you to monitor your emails and schedule\nyour work around irregular events. Since most events are encouraged but not\nmandatory, regular attendance shows how committed you are to the program and\nhow willing you are to seek out opportunities and connections that you would\nnever have known if you missed those events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How has the Wilson\nLeadership Fellows Program helped you grow as a person, student, or leader?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Wilson Center has helped me realize that personal integrity is\nwhat makes a leader. Simply belonging to a group of leaders is not enough, and\nleadership is not about the resume builders or the accolades or the\nacknowledgements. Leadership is about following one\u2019s own ethical compass,\nuplifting the community around oneself, and encouraging others to do the same.\nA leader does not wait for an order or a cultural shift to take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are your plans\nafter H-SC?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After Hampden-Sydney, I plan to pursue a law degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"296\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.hsc.edu\/wilsoncenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2020\/05\/JoshHall.jpg\" alt=\"Josh Hall\" class=\"wp-image-326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.hsc.edu\/wilsoncenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2020\/05\/JoshHall.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.hsc.edu\/wilsoncenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2020\/05\/JoshHall-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why did you choose Hampden-Sydney?
