Student Leadership Academy
We don't just train. We transform.
The Office of Student Activities and Wellness (SAW) provides South Texas College students numerous chances to invest in their leadership development.
The student will be taught how to identify their leadership style to determine which practices benefit them and their abilities for future employers or educational institutions.
Throughout the year, we offer lectures and training for individual students, one-on-one consultations with student leaders, and interactive experiences to encourage discussion on leadership.
Volunteer

Positive effects of volunteering include:
#1: Feeling Good
#2: Career Benefits

Break from monotony with purposeful volunteering, boosting motivation and giving life a sense of purpose.
