What to Look for in a Leadership Program |

Why get involved in leadership
roles - shouldn't I be concentrating on my school work?
Yes and no. While it is important to maintain a high level
of success in your school work, it is also important to
get involved outside the classroom. Employers do look
at how involved you were as a student beyond the four
walls of a classroom; studies suggest that involved students
have better grade point averages, are more satisfied with
their college experience and are generally more successful.

|
Opportunities are all across
campus - they include but are not limited to, athletic
teams, residence hall governments, student organizations,
work-study positions and campus jobs, departmental groups
and fraternity and sorority life. Accessing these opportunities
gives you opportunities to interact with peers that you
may not have in any other setting, access to administrators,
professors and the general operation of the university.

|
Holding a leadership position
gives you the opportunity to put in practice what you
are learning, gives you insight into human relationships,
and affords you an experience that you wouldn't necessarily
get as a member of a group.
Take some time to
surf the WILDCAT web site and take advantage of the opportunities
that Northwestern has... better yourself and your experience
at NU, you'll be glad you did.
