What do past engineering student ambassadors say about SALP?
- Joining SALP allowed me to learn
more about leadership and enhance my own leadership and
communication skills. Through taking part in new experiences
I have met many new people, from both the University
and the wider community, as well as becoming more confident
in going beyond my comfort zone.
- SALP gives you the support, encouragement, and belief
in yourself to achieve what is seemingly impossible.
- The program doesn't open doors for you; it gives
you the confidence to find the doors and open them yourself.
