I first joined CSA-EUR as an active member of the Cultural Events Committee in 2023-2024, and it was an incredible experience that introduced me to an amazing community of talented and passionate people. Many of whom I am incredibly grateful to call my friends who continue to inspire me. Serving on the board was a rewarding journey, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enrich their student life. It offers a unique chance to develop invaluable leadership skills, meet amazing people, expand your network, and create lasting memories. While it can be challenging at times, it pushed me to go outside of my comfort zone. Through it, I gained a deeper understanding of both my strengths and weaknesses, and I learned a lot about myself. Most importantly, I was able to help others grow—whether professionally or socially. This not only contributed to my personal development, but also added significant value to my professional life. I acquired practical insights and worked on essential soft skills, such as project management, leadership, and communication, which have had a lasting impact on my personal and career growth. Being the president of CSA-EUR is something that I would do all over again if I got the chance and I would recommend it to everyone.
