Office of Student Leadership and Engagement
In the Office of Student Leadership and Engagement, we believe every student is capable of practicing leadership because it is not about a position or title; it is about the desire and drive to create positive change. We offer several opportunities that will equip you with the skills and tools needed to successfully practice leadership on campus and in the community:
- LEAD: You can learn about leadership by attending our annual Seahawk Leadership Conference, taking the StrengthsFinder assessment and attending a coaching session, attending one of our Leadership Workshops focused on Emotional Intelligence, or by participating in the Civic Action Institute. We also offer the following, more formalized leadership roles in our department: Seahawk Leadership Conference Co-Chairs, Student Leadership Educators, Community Engagement Specialists, Engagement Assistants, and Internships (for any major or class standing – inquire if interested!).
- SERVE: Community Engagement is much more than a service hour requirement - we make it a priority to connect students with the community in a way that makes a positive impact for both the organizations and the volunteers. This can be through volunteer work (on campus, in Wilmington and in other cities like Atlanta, New Orleans, or Asheville), philanthropy projects (like donating a thanksgiving meal or holiday gifts), by donating blood (we host monthly drives with the American Red Cross), or by exercising your right to vote.
- JOIN: Fraternities and Sororities are social organizations that can help personalize the college experience. Greek Life offers life-long friendships, leadership opportunities, scholastic support, and community engagement opportunities. Each type of organization recruits its members differently and at different times - contact us to learn more!
- Not sure where to begin? Stop by our office in 2029 Fisher Student Center and we’ll help you figure it out! And be sure to check out our website for upcoming events and follow us on Instagram @uncw_osle
