Julius Bedford is a member of the class of 2012. His on campus activities include Dartmouth Boxing Club, Afro-American Society, Dartmouth Alliance for Children of Color Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Incorporated. He is also an Undergraduate Advisor and works with the Rockefeller center. Julius was a Rocky First Year Fellow, completed the Civic Skills training program and the MLDP program in Fall 2010.
Why did you participate in MLDP?
- I had a very rewarding experience with Civic Skills Training and I wanted to continue that experience on campus.
What did you love about MLDP?
- I loved the opportunity to learn tangible work skills. The sessions on writing, narrative sharing, and systems thinking were particularly helpful.
How have the themes in MLDP applied to you campus life? In student groups or general student life?
- MLDP has helped to guide me on how to plan events for my fraternity and other campus organizations. It is much easier now to envision, plan, and execute successful programming events.
How do you think MLDP can collaborate with other programs on campus to be more effective and or accessible to students on campus?
- The Corrigans would like for every Dartmouth student to participate in programs like MLDP to the point where a Dartmouth degree becomes synonymous with leadership skills. For that to happen MLDP alumni need to share their positive experiences with MLDP. They are the best advocates for the program.
What ways do you think MLDP can grow?
- However MLDP grows to accommodate more students, it should maintain the spirit of the small groups. The relationships and the sense of trust that individuals develop in their small groups is key to promoting a comfortable, participatory atmosphere.
Why would you recommend MLDP for you peers?
- You learn tangible skills that translate into any working environment. Whether you are a sophomore looking for an internship or a senior about graduate, MLDP will be a helpful tool wherever you go.
