ABOUT OUR LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

Orientation is the first event on campus for new members. During orientation students get introduced to other members, learn the steps they need to take to complete the program and review the schedule of events for the semester.

On leadership training day, students attend an interactive video training session where they identify their goals and work on a plan of action to achieve them. During this session, they learn various leadership skills, recognize strengths and weaknesses and create a path for overcoming obstacles.

Students attend live streamed and pre-recorded speaker events where they get to interact with and learn from leaders, celebrities and best-selling authors. Hosted six times per year, topics include leadership fundamentals, identifying goals, facing challenges, personal growth and successfully transitioning from college to career.

Students meet bi-weekly in small groups to work together and set goals for future success. In these meetings, students discuss their goals and hold each other accountable by setting timelines and expectations. After each meeting, students submit a reflective journal entry online, providing advisors the opportunity to coach and mentor in a format which actively engages students.

In their final step towards induction, a formal induction ceremony may be held where students are presented with their Certificate of Leadership Training honoring their achievement and membership in the NSLS.
