Leadership & Service

Opportunities are what you make of them.

You can enrich your college experience and grow as a leader by getting involved on campus and working to make the university a more engaged, inclusive and equitable community. Along the way, you can develop valuable leadership skills and experience that you can list on your résumé.

Everyone has something to contribute. How you live your life and your character will differentiate you as a leader. Student leaders inspire and encourage others to get involved. Effective leaders are those who are authentic and passionate about the activities they join and lead.

Community Service

Lenoir-Rhyne encourages students to become involved in community service as part of the university's mission to promote responsible leadership for service in the world.

Community service enriches the learning experience, teaches civic responsibility and strengthens communities. It also provides you with opportunities to apply what you are learning in class outside the classroom.

Broyhill Leadership Institute

The Broyhill Institute for Leadership fosters and develops the skills necessary for students and graduates to become effective leaders in professional communities and adapt to future innovations.

Participation in the Broyhill Leaders is by invitation only. Students with solid academic accomplishment as well as leadership interest and aptitude are identified to become members of the Broyhill Leaders student organization. Once an invitation is accepted, you must remain in good academic and social conduct standing.

You are expected to use your leadership skills responsibly and ethically to make a positive difference in the world.

Upon completing leadership training opportunities and experiences, you can earn a leadership certificate.
