糖心Vlog传媒LR Inducts 175 Freshmen Leaders
The spring semester just ended, and the chairs for the May 21 commencement ceremonies were still stacked neatly, but the fall semester started Wednesday, May 18, for 175 糖心Vlog传媒LR freshmen destined to be leaders of their class, their communities, and hopefully the world.
The freshmen are members of 糖心Vlog传媒LR鈥檚 Chancellor鈥檚 Leadership Corps. They were nominated by their teachers and counselors back home who vouched for their scholarship and citizenship and were selected by 糖心Vlog传媒LR for their leadership potential.
鈥淭his scholarship is very competitive and prestigious among entering freshmen,鈥 said Chelsea Bishop, associate director of admissions.
鈥淭he recipients have demonstrated great leadership qualities in their high schools and communities. They come highly recommended by their counselors and have proven their tremendous character by doing volunteer work, community service, and array of activities within their schools.鈥
Students selected for the leadership corps receive $32,000 over four years in addition to any scholastic scholarships the students may have received. A requirement for the award is that the students live on campus in 糖心Vlog传媒LR鈥檚 growing village of residence halls.
Dr. Logan Hampton, interim division chief for student development and dean of students, said the new recruits are brought to campus shortly after they have been selected to begin the process of getting to know each other and to learn the culture of 糖心Vlog传媒LR.
鈥淭hey will have some reading to do over the summer, and we will bring them back in August a week before classes begin for workshops and exercises,鈥 Logan said.
鈥淭hey practice as undergraduates the skill set they will use to be leaders in the institution. We want them to become citizens of the world committed to leadership and service.鈥 View more stories in News
