The Office of Student Activities and Wellness (SAW) offers many opportunities for South Texas College students to invest in leadership development.
Students learn to identify their own leadership style. This will give you clarity on which practices will work best for you and what strength they will bring to future employers and academic programs.
Throughout the year, we offer workshops and training, one-on-one counseling with student leaders, interactive experiences to spark conversations about leadership and leadership retreats.

Kickoff Event

Workshops
For STC students looking to gain valuable skills and stand out to employers, the Student Leadership Academy at South Texas College is the perfect place to start. Leadership is not just about personality; it’s about the observable set of skills and abilities that constitute effective behavior. We believe that college students can discover their full potential when they understand the five cores of exemplary leadership:
- Model the Way
- Inspire A Shared Vision
- Challenge the Process
- Enable the Heart
- Encourage the Heart
Graduates of Student Leadership Academy also develop the in-demand skills that employers are seeking today, such as:
- Communication
- Ethics
- Mentoring
- Problem-Solving
- Decision-Making
- Teamwork
By reflecting on and embodying these practices, college students can become more effective leaders and better fulfill their goals.
