3. Everyone can be great because
anyone can serve. You don't
have to have a college degree
to serve. You don't even have
to make your subject and your
verb agree to serve... You only
need a heart full of grace.
-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
7. What is SLEP
?
SLEP is a Service Leadership Endorsement Program that
enhances an SPSU degree through coursework that
explores qualities of leadership in a global and
technological society as well as through service that asks
students to implement their leadership skills
locally through co-curricular activities.
The program implements SPSU’s mission through the use
of technology to communicate, to analyze, and to solve
complex problems that demand ethical service leadership.
The Service Leadership Endorsement Program builds
strength of character, integrity, and engaged citizenship.
8. What is an Endorsement Program
An endorsement program is similar to having a
minor or a certificate in an additional field,
?
except that it allows for us to give you credit for
coursework, workshops, and service. Not only will
your transcript indicate that you have an
endorsement in leadership, but we will also
help you to create a co-curricular portfolio/
resume that helps you to share your work
with future employers.
