Interview With Ukashah Shabazz '15

What capstone project are you working on with Cam?

Cam talked to me about doing a project on peer support. I do WRAP every Tuesday, and it's kind of the same idea that he had. He ran this thing at Haverford where basically, they would come in week to week and it was just a peer-led support. Kind of the same thing with WRAP except I'm there. I think he was considering adding a component of training peer leaders so that, like, it can happen completely without me helping

What is one thing you learned when working with students?

One of the things that I've learned is that you're constantly reinventing yourself. You should always be reinventing yourself, and you should always be learning. Even as an instructor, teacher, or leader, once you start to think that you know what's best for everybody, and you kind of want to mute or quiet certain voices, take a step back and humble yourself...Always understand that you're a student, no matter what.
