JAHLA BANKS

Campus Involvement: Multicultural Business Students (External Vice President), Residential Business Community (Undergraduate Learning Assistant, Student Coordinator of Community Service, Mentor), East Neighborhood Black Caucus (President) Studies: Marketing, Entrepreneurship & Innovation Minor, Spring 2028 “I admire a leader who is close to their members and creates bonds with them. I’ve found that many projects tend to go smoother when personalities are understood between leader and group members rather than hopping into a project with strangers. As being a member role in the past I believe it shows caring and understanding that a leader would like to get to know me before working together. Whenever conflict arises I’ve found that people are less standoff-ish when they are closer to their team and more understanding of where the leader is coming from.” -Jahla
