Student Leadership
 
Develop and cultivate your leadership and personal skills by participating in a variety of student leadership opportunities at South. Many positions are even paid! You don’t have to have prior experience as we offer training and free monthly workshops with core themes of student activism, communication, self-knowledge and service learning. There are also opportunities through-out the year to attend local and regional conferences for free. For more information, contact Monica Lundberg at Monica.Lundberg@seattlecolleges.edu or visit her in JB Student Center 126.
The Student Development Transcript
The Student Development Transcript is an official record of your service and involvement at SSCC. It is similar to a resume, which lists activities you have participated in, such as student clubs, student government, conferences, sports, etc. You can include this document, which is separate from your academic transcript, when you apply for scholarships, university admissions and employment.
