 Leadership skills are marketable and useful in every aspect of our lives. Whether we are involved in contributing to classroom discussions, volunteering in the community, participating in sports, working at our jobs, or planning social events, leadership skills are critical. All students are encouraged to be actively involved in campus organizations and to take advantage of leadership training opportunities at Greensboro College.
