D-CREW SPOTLIGHT

Development Crew Spotlight
“My D-Crew and I went for HotPot earlier this week, which was my favorite memory! My most important takeaway was that while all of us are very busy and involved in many other things on campus, we made time for each other in a very meaningful way. Finding a space wherein we could explore our creativity and share our leadership growth (and even ask for feedback!) was a delightful experience -- and I can't wait to see our D-Crew continue flourish!” - Nethra Mahendran ’28
“I met my D-crew for dinner and we discussed how we were pursuing creative endeavors outside the classroom. I realized there are many ways to develop creativity (e.g., by being a DJ) even if you don't pursue something creative in class or work.” - Sylvana Poon ’26
“My favorite memory has to be when our D-Crew went to Korean BBQ this past semester. We showed courage both in our conversation about leadership at CMC and in the food we tried - we even ate intestine.” - Harry Patel ’27
The KLI’s Leadership Competency model maximizes student leadership potential through D-Crews, or small student groups that focus on developing one specific competency (courage, collaboration, or creative) through intentional reflection, discussion, and group events.
My favorite memory & most important takeaway from meeting with my D-Crew this year was walking back from a lovely dinner at Bua Thai in the village. Zoey & Charlotte expressed some worries about the CMC imposter syndrome/pressure to know what professional course to take, and Davis and I felt a lot of sympathy through being directly in their shoes when we were freshman. We had many heartfelt conversations, and I think vulnerability in our conversations in pairing with a safe space to talk about anxieties and problems resulted in us becoming closer as a D-Crew and friends! - Jonas Rickert ’28
