It's very important for all of the scholars to be leaders on campus. We have leaders in SGA, Greek Life, Recognized Student Organizations and local chapters of national organizations. McConnell Scholars help add a lot to the vibrancy of campus, but more important is the work with all students across the campus. Without their help many of our goals and initiatives would not have support within the organizations we lead. While McConnell Scholars are not the only leaders on campus, the leadership experienced through members of the program helps better the University of Louisville.
The following is just a bit of the collaborative efforts through my leadership in SGA. For more information go to www.uoflsga.org and check the accomplishments tab.
