Julia was a massive presence in every session, and her impact was evident and inescapable. She contributed passionately to every discussion, speech, and reflection, ensuring every participant was as enthusiastic as she was. Her passion for MLDP was infectious and spread through every situation she encountered –– outside the classroom included. Thank you so much for your energy and liveliness these last few months.
Malachai Ah Yo '26
Malachi took on a difficult leadership challenge and made the most of it. The reward has indeed been everyone's to share as his skills in leadership and communication were seen more and more throughout the term. Malachi was unafraid to share his unique perspective with the participants, and we are incredibly grateful to observe how he fully committed to every aspect of MLDP this term. Peers described Malachi as "hardworking and thorough." Thank you for being an example to all of us this term.
Shakeb Arsalan '26
Shakeb's conversational skill and levity made difficult topics palatable and, therefore, much more accessible. This sort of involvement that seems to follow in his wake encouraged others to interact and contribute. Shakeb adds value to every space he enters. It was a joy to see him interact with his fellow MLDP participants this term.
Faisal Azizi '25
It was incredible to observe the ways Faisal fully committed to this program. In each session, his passion and enthusiasm were palpable and pushed other participants to be the best versions of themselves. We are so grateful for the opportunity to observe Faisal's growth in this program watching him develop into an active and accomplished leader who is prepared to handle any situation with which he is presented. Faisal also showed his commitment to MLDP by marketing the program widely to his friends and colleagues. Thank you for your dedication to the program.
Baptiste Gibrat GR '24
We are incredibly grateful for Baptiste's participation in MLDP this term, specifically in his insightful and creative responses to our speakers' questions, bringing in the context of his
organization outside Dartmouth. He was courageous for sharing his unique perspective in front of our entire cohort, and his thoughts positively impacted many students this term. We are beyond appreciative of Baptiste's participation in MLDP this term!
Julian Gutierrez '26
We are so proud of the role Julian took on in MLDP this term. Although we are thrilled by the mentorship role he assumed as the term progressed, we are not surprised. From the beginning
of the program, it was clear that Julian was willing to go above and beyond what was expected of him in all areas of the program. Because of his steadfast dedication, Julian received the most nominations this term.
Maya Magee '25
Maya was an excellent and active participant during group discussions, and both guest speakers and students alike made note of it. During the program and asynchronous learning, it was clear that Maya was dedicated to enhancing her leadership skills. Her clarity and ease of speaking was a great addition to these 9 weeks. Thank you for your energetic leadership in this program.
Yasmeen Hussein '26
Yasmeen has been a consistent and active participant from start to finish, and it has been a pleasure to work with her throughout the term. Showing up early and frequently sticking around after sessions have been hallmarks of what Yasmeen has brought to this program. She strove to connect with her peers, speakers, and staff alike. Thank you so much for your thoughts and your dedication.
Carly Walther-Porino '25
Carly was an incredible contributor to every conversation and session we held in MLDP. Although she did not speak frequently, her thoughts about the topics were succinct and profound, and she provided incredible insight and clarity. She was described as "super genuine and super effective" by her fellow participants in MLDP, and the program was enriched with her in it.
