A chapter of the National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS) has officially launched at SUNY Fredonia.
Eligible students have received an invitation to the chapter, which may have generated questions about what the NSLS is, the process of becoming a member and the benefits of membership.
The NSLS is the largest and only accredited leadership honor society in the nation, with more than 800 chapters and over 2 million members. With a flexible online curriculum, the NSLS is perfect for all students, especially those who are balancing full course loads with additional commitments and responsibilities.
The NSLS aims to teach students skills that will last a lifetime. Throughout the program, students hone valuable, in-demand skill sets that hiring managers specifically look for, including leadership, relationship-building, goal-setting and effective communication.
Students who join NSLS will navigate the Foundations of Leadership program, which takes approximately 10 hours or less to complete at the student’s own pace. Here, students will get to experience Speaker Broadcasts, which bring high-profile leaders exclusively to members, including former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush, Dr. Bernice King, Mark Cuban and many others.
Beyond the leadership training, NSLS members become part of a community of fellow leaders across the nation, where they’ll network and make lifelong connections. On top of the skills they learn and connections they make, NSLS membership provides access to over $400,000 in scholarship opportunities each year, along with many partner discounts to help them save even more.
Once students complete the program, they become inducted members and gain access to even more benefits, including personalized letters of recommendation, an exclusive NSLS job board, additional scholarships and opportunities for advanced leadership education, allowing them to earn credits as they learn to lead.
