The NSLS Chapter at DSU Inducts 29 New Members
May 26, 2016
The Dakota State University Chapter of The National Society of Leadership and Success recently held its ceremony for its third induction class, which included 29 DSU students. Inducted members completed a leadership program consisting of an orientation, a leadership training day, three speaker broadcasts, three success networking team meetings, and an induction ceremony where they received their Certificate of Leadership Training. This spring’s induction ceremony included a keynote address by Josh Thomas (DSU ’12), Third Grade Teacher at Hayward Elementary in Sioux Falls.
The Society is one of the nation's largest leadership honor societies. Students are invited to become members based on academic standing. Candidacy is a nationally recognized achievement of honorable distinction. Membership is for a lifetime and provides access to benefits including scholarships and awards, exclusive on-campus events, employer recruitment through an online job bank, discounts on computers, textbooks, grad school prep courses, insurance, and much more.
With the addition of this induction class, the Dakota State University Society Chapter now consists of 137 students and several other members who are working towards their induction. Students are invited to join each semester. “I’m very proud of our members. The Society has had a significant impact on our campus, inspiring our students to become better leaders, and helping them build a better future for themselves, the campus, and their respective communities,” said Mandy Parpart, Chapter Advisor.
