Testimonials From Our Past Leaders

The Emerge Club has been a place of growth and development for me. When I first joined The Emerge Club as part of the National Management Team, I was shy and unsure of my leadership capabilities. But being a part of The Emerge Club and committing to it has produced immense growth and changes in me. I feel more confident in my public speaking capabilities and leadership ability.

My experience with The Emerge Club was a truly rewarding one. I learned so much, from working and communicating with people from different backgrounds to balancing schoolwork with other commitments. The roundtable discussions were filled with valuable lessons that have stuck with me. Thank you, Sir Vic, and thank you, TEC, for giving me this amazing opportunity.

Working with The Emerge Club NMT 2023 was an incredible journey. I learned, failed, and learned again, and along the way, I made some amazing friends. I can't even begin to describe how much I've improved at speaking and engaging with people, thanks to the trainings I received while hosting book reviews and panel sessions. It's been an experience I'd love to repeat over and over again. Thank you, Emerge Club 🤍
