Leadership Opportunities
Leadership opportunities provide invaluable experiences that shape personal growth and professional development. Engaging in leadership enhances skills such as decision-making, communication, and teamwork while building self-confidence and resilience. Beyond individual benefits, student leadership fosters a sense of community, contributing positively to campus life and beyond. The opportunities to get involved, lead, and serve your community are endless!
“Getting involved on campus is the best way to grow as a leader and person. At Clemson, I have been privileged to serve in numerous capacities through CAFLS and beyond. But out of every opportunity, two organizations have cultivated my leadership abilities the most. As a Tour Guide and CAFLS Ambassador, I have given dozens of tours to prospective students and families–showing them what makes the 'Clemson Family' and our University unlike any other. I love having the ability to make an impact on the lives of others through sharing my own experiences and passion for the Clemson community. Not only have I grown in my love for Clemson while serving as an Ambassador, but I have been so lucky to see the fruit of my efforts—every time a fellow student stops me on campus and says, 'You are the reason I came to Clemson,' it all makes it worth it. It reminds me of the power of leadership and how every action, no matter how small, makes a difference.”
