Student Leadership Society seeking nominations
|
The Student Leadership Society at MUSC is accepting nominations. The
purpose of the society is to recognize students who have made
contributions to the university through their character, service and
commitment to enhancing the university environment.
Students selected for the society personify the ideals of the
university as being caring, compassionate, ethical, proficient and
creative individuals who have demonstrated the qualities needed to be
effective leaders and members of inter-professional teams.
Criteria for selection
- Having
made the university a better place through their service and
contributions by the example they set for others through their
character, integrity and spirit of giving;
- Embodying
the characteristics of servant leadership including listening, empathy,
awareness, persuasion, conceptualization, foresight, steward-ship,
commitment to the growth of others, and building community;
- Commitment to working effectively with diverse groups;
- Promoting interprofessional and interpersonal respect and under-standing;
- Significant accomplishments and service to universitywide or interprofessional initiatives;
- Potential
for future contributions as a leader not only in their own profession,
but also in the broader context of health care or biomedical research.
Faculty, administrators and fellow students will nominate candidates for the society annually.
Nominees should be in good academic standing. A nomination form will be
provided with documentation requested that addresses the criteria. A
two-page resume/curriculum vita will also be required.
A selection committee made up of faculty, staff and administrators who
serve at the university level will review nominations. Approximately
five to eight students will be selected each year and inducted into the
Society at an annual student leadership celebration.
Submit nominations and all materials by March 23 to Willette S.
