Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
A Day in the Life of a College Student Leader
Sarah M. Marshall · 2023
75/100
👍 Worth It
Grounded in real interviews with over a hundred students and administrators, this gives you 230 genuine scenarios instead of generic advice — that's the kind of substance I respect. It really shines with a facilitator guiding discussion though, so a solo reader may find it less satisfying cover to cover.
