When I heard of the Dyer Fellowship, I was immediately drawn and interested in the opportunity. To me, being a Dyer Fellow means to be a leader. To take risks on things you may end up failing on. To take ownership on mistakes and grow further from them. All these skills the fellowship will help me and my partners improve on. I look forward to putting this entrepreneurial mindset on issues I care about, like strengthening volunteer work in Easton as well as Lafayette College. I look forward to using teamwork to grow not only by myself, but with my peers. The work done as a Dyer fellow is sure to have lasting affects on my mindset and work drive, and I look forward to using the fellowships opportunities to the best of my abilities.
