Nash Community College students were inducted into the National Society of Leadership and Success on Tuesday, April 24, 2018. The Society\u00a0is the nation\u2019s largest leadership honor society which honors students based on either academic standing or leadership potential. Candidacy is a nationally recognized achievement of honorable distinction.<\/p>\n
In addition to honorable distinction, the Society provides a step-by-step program for members to build their leadership skills through participation at their campus or online.\u00a0 Upon completion of the program, members receive their leadership certificate and take their place among the top student leaders at their campus and across the country.<\/p>\n
NCC Mathematics Department Chair shared words of encouragement as the keynote speaker. “My passion aligns with the vision of the National Society of Leadership and Success which is inspired by the passion of helping people wake up and believe in their own potential,” she said. Sharing her own personal story and the important impact of one’s community, Pitt said, “I grew up in a single parent family in Whitakers, NC. I had the desire to go to college but just didn\u2019t know how to make that a reality. A guidance counselor at Northern Nash High School stayed after hours, partnered with my mother, and reached out to community members who assisted me with scholarships to attend UNC-Chapel Hill. Oh what a community that was for me.”<\/p>\n
Membership in the Society is for life and provides access to benefits including scholarships and awards, exclusive on-campus events, employer recruitment through an online job bank, and discounts on computers, textbooks, grad school prep courses, insurance and much more.<\/p>\n
“When you chose Nash, you became part of our community. You took action by applying and attending this college. We took action when we embraced your presence and perseverance.\u00a0Your full potential is shining through and now we are passing the torch to you so you can be the one to make a change in the lives of others. Please reach back one person at a time and share your gift by assisting and supporting another aspiring student,” Pitt said.<\/p>\n
