How does a student become an inducted member?

Once a student has enrolled into the NSLS, they are considered a member with access to certain benefits. In order to become an inducted member, a student must complete the following steps:

  1. Orientation: This is the first event on campus for new members to learn the steps of the program and the schedule of events for the term.
  2. Leadership Training Day: Members attend an interactive video training session where they identify goals and overcome obstacles.
  3. Three Speaker Broadcast Events: Live streamed events with leaders, celebrities and best-selling authors are scheduled six times per academic year.
  4. Three Consecutive Success Networking Team Meetings: Peer to Peer Accountability and Goal Setting sessions with other members.

What is the typical time commitment?

A student should expect to spend approximately 12 hours for the program. Program events are held in the evenings, typically beginning at 6:00pm. The NSLS program is designed to be completed in a semester, however some members may take more time and complete in the next semester offered. Inducted members can hold leadership positions in the semesters after completing the leadership program. 

When are invitations sent to students?

Invitations are sent two times a year, before the fall and spring semesters to the student's email address and mailing address on file.

When is the induction ceremony?

The NSLS induction ceremony for Spring 2022 will be held on April 19th, 2022 at 6:00pm - located in Covelle Hall Auditorium on the OSUIT Campus.
