Students who participate in leadership roles develop a variety of skills necessary for enhancing their professional careers and benefit in several ways. Some of the key advantages gained from serving in leadership positions are presented here:
1. Strengthens your college admission application. Demonstrating that you have experience serving in a leadership position provides college admission counselors with proof that you can work well with others, an important quality for being a contributing member of a student body.
2. Increases the chance of taking on future leadership roles. Students who participate in leadership roles are more likely to become leaders later in life in their workplaces compared to those who have not had previous leadership experience.
3. Teaches networking skills. Participating in leadership roles as a student provides useful experience about how to develop connections with others. Students in leadership positions learn to build connections with many people including fellow students, faculty, directors of students clubs, and organizations.
