About Us
We live by two cardinal truths. First, life’s greatest moments and opportunities for growth lie outside of your comfort zone. Second, developing as a leader is much easier and more fun when empowered by a supportive community. SEE(k) D(iscomfort) First-Year Leadership Organization, or SEED, was created with these beliefs in mind.
Our FLO serves to develop first-years into leaders by pushing them to intentionally seek discomfort while being surrounded and supported by their fellow members. Through weekly meetings, activities, and events, we target topics that contain real opportunities for leadership development and growth in a way that encourages members to dream bigger, push past their perceived limits and unlock their full potential.
​
Many incoming first-years describe college as a time in which they want to make an impact on campus, do things they’ve never done before, and find what they’re truly passionate about. SEED structures its learning outcomes around these aspects so that members are getting what they want out of the first-year experiences and setting themselves up to be successful throughout the rest of college, and their lives.

Our Advisors
Katelyn Hall
Katelyn believes in the power of embracing challenges and actively seeking discomfort as a catalyst for personal and collective growth. Inspired by her own transformative journey through SEED, she is driven to create an empowering and caring environment where others can thrive and experience their own transformations.
Aditya Prabhakar
AP has a goal to meet as many people from different backgrounds and upbringings in order to get a better grasp for how the world functions and how beautifully different people are and why. He had initially joined SEED to do so, and in the process, started another journey of becoming a pioneer for self-growth as well as finding some of his closest friends. He encourages all to start off by seeking a little discomfort, and fall in love with the act of doing so.
