Congratulations to 40 Southwest students who were inducted into Southwest’s chapter of the National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS) Nov. 29 during a celebratory ceremony in the Farris Building on the Macon Cove Campus. 

NSLS is the nation's largest leadership honor society. Students are selected by their college for membership based on either academic standing or leadership potential. Candidacy is a nationally recognized achievement of honorable distinction.

Director of Student Leadership and Engagement, Phoenix Worthy, said NSLS provides a step-by-step program for members to build their leadership skills through participation at their campus or online. Upon completion of the program, members receive their leadership certificate and take their place among the top student leaders at their campus and across the country. Members are able to list their affiliation on all statements of personal accomplishment, including their resume. 

“We established the chapter in 2020 to provide additional opportunities for students to develop their leadership skills and advance their academic and professional goals. Each inductee had to complete a five-step program to qualify for membership,”  Worthy said. 

Keynote spaker Ashley Geisewite, professor of Business and Legal Studies, said it was an honor to participate in the NSLS induction ceremony. "So many of our students have strong leadership potential and through NSLS, our students are provided opportunities to hone their leadership skills and learn more about effective leadeship. Having this organization at Southwest serves our students well as they prepare for the workplce regardless of their academic field," she said. 

To date the chapter has inducted 343 students.
