Leadership at St. Lawrence

On average, there are about 400 leadership opportunities for students through clubs and organizations alone. 

Once on campus, you could set goals and inspire others as: 

• An editor for The Hill News
• President of the Association for Campus Entertainment (ACE)
• A Community Assistant or an Orientation Leader
• Captain of a varsity, club, or intramural sports team
• An Admissions Ambassador
• An Outdoor Program Guide

You’ll have plenty of opportunities to explore a passion for politics and governance if that is where your interest lies. 

With Class Councils for each class year and the Thelomathesian Society—fondly referred to as “Thelmo”—governing the entire student body, you will enjoy hands-on experiences with leadership and politics right on campus that give you the chance to shape the direction of St. Lawrence.

Or join any of our many other political organizations, such as: 

• Amnesty International
• Model United Nations
• Model Organization of American States
• SLU Democrats or SLU Republicans.

Each year, St. Lawrence offers an interactive and engaging leadership development conference for students across all clubs and organizations.

With over 100 participants annually, these workshops challenge you to brainstorm around student interests and needs, collaborate across interests and functions, and grow into your leadership potential. 

Invest your time empowering your community alongside your fellow Laurentians through a number of volunteer opportunities on and off campus. 

Volunteer with new student Orientation. Participate in an alternate break trip along the East Coast with Habitat for Humanity. Spend an afternoon working with Campus Kitchens. Help a local farm harvest veggies and care for their animals. You’ll find plenty of opportunities that will expand your worldview and encourage the type of self-reflection necessary to becoming an impactful leader.
