The Guins take on LA! βοΈπ§
In early November, Emily Basista and Sienna Summers went to Loyola Marymount University for the Beta Gamma Sigma Leadership Summit. The event gave them opportunities to hear from speakers and panelists about how to be the best leader in today's world. The duo got to create their version of what a leader was (see last photo), and developed a proposal on how to incorporate AI into the workplace. We cannot wait to see how these two bring what they learned back to Youngstown!

Happy Friday, Guins! π§
