KOKOMO, Ind. — Seventy-six students at Ivy Tech Community College have been inducted as the first members of a new chapter of the National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS) for the College’s Kokomo Service Area.
Ivy Tech Kokomo became the fourth campus in Ivy Tech’s statewide system to bring the NSLS opportunity to its students, joining Ivy Tech campuses at Columbus, Indianapolis, and South Bend. NSLS, founded in 2001, has become the largest leadership-based honor society in the United States and operates on the mission of “Building leaders who make a better world.”
To be inducted as a member of NSLS, students must complete a leadership certification that includes an orientation, a Leadership Training Day, at least three speaker broadcasts, and at least three Success Networking Team (SNT) meetings.
NSLS also offers two additional certifications. Ivy Tech Kokomo students Laurie Dowell and Kori Wood both completed the Advanced Leadership Certification and Dowell went on to complete the Executive Leadership Certification.
Students who served as chapter leaders for 2018-2019 included Jessica Hamilton, president; Laurie Dowell, vice president; Corynne Menard, secretary; Lee Stout, snt coordinator; and David Akers and Zachary Hutcheson, chairs. Officers elected for the 2019-2020 school year include Corynne Menard, president; Zachary Hutcheson, vice president; Jossie Helmerick, secretary; Lee Stout.
“With more than 600 chapters and more than 950,000 members nationwide, NSLS offers great training and networking opportunities,” said Dani McQuaide, director of Student Life for Ivy Tech Kokomo and the new chapter’s advisor. “NSLS members have access to personal success coaching, partner discounts, an online job bank, and a number of scholarships and awards. We are glad to provide another way students can gain great experience and boost their resumes.
