Leadership Opportunities

SMC really offers a lot of great leadership opportunities for students. So we have people like our Welcome Week Leaders, our Orientation Leaders.

I feel like it's important to have leadership skills even if it's just a soft skill. I feel like SMC has built those characteristics up for me by giving me multiple scenarios in which I have to act as a leader.

The Grady Scholarship program is an opportunity for underrepresented students.

I really enjoyed being in the program because it helped me a lot -- tremendously. They helped me with resumes, getting jobs, like they're literally preparing me outside of college.

Being a part of one of these leadership programs really helps students stand out.

Leadership is important in college because it makes you gain a sense of independence, as well as a great opportunity to get to know yourself more get to know more peers around campus, and also getting connections with staff and faculty around campus because that's a big thing.

There are so many ways that students can go out and actually be that leader on campus -- be a role model for other students.
