SHELTON STATE STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN STUDENT LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE

Tuscaloosa, Alabama – Shelton State Community College students attended the annual Student Leadership Institute (SLI) on July 14 and 15. The training was held at the 4-H Camp in Columbiana, Alabama, and was sponsored by the Association of Deans of Students of Alabama.

SLI is a training opportunity for Alabama community college students serving in leadership positions. At the event, student leaders shared ideas for student activities, learned how to expand their leadership potential, and made plans for the upcoming academic year.

Nicole Martin, currently serving as a Shelton State Ambassador, the Phi Theta Kappa College Project Coordinator, and Historian of Circle K, found the SLI experience beneficial. “I enjoyed meeting the students from surrounding community colleges and learning how they do things at their school,” said Martin, a sophomore pursuing a career in public relations. “I learned not only about being a leader, but also how to communicate as a leader.”

Other Shelton State student leaders in attendance were Taylor Howard, Jordan Phillips, and Shonterriace Roberson. Forrest Smith, a Shelton State recruiter, and Annette Cook, Associate Dean of Student Services, accompanied the students.
