Whether you feel called to make a difference in the world or want to lead in your career field, our Student Leadership program will teach you to be an effective and compassionate leader. Students in various leadership groups will have the unique opportunity to participate in this program and develop the skills, experience, and perspective needed to be a leader in today’s world!

I was inspired to take on a leadership position because of what my hall director said when I asked him why he did it. He told me it would make me a better version of myself. I see that happening now. I’ll be in situations where I have to try harder to make things work, not for myself, but for others. It’s very rewarding.
