Medallion Leadership Society

The Medallion Leadership Society is an undergraduate student group dedicated to leadership. The society educates their peers to realize their leadership potential and become engaged members of the campus and surrounding communities, in an effort to achieve positive social change. 

Members in the society will participate in committees, have opportunities to meet with deans, and plan leadership programs for the Office of the Dean of Students (ODOS).

After completing Level 3, a member of our leadership team will contact you with instructions on enrollment into the Medallion Leadership Society.
