Twelve Students Chosen for Randolph Community College Student Leadership Academy

Twelve students have been chosen for Randolph Community College’s seventh annual Student Leadership Academy based on a competitive process that considered leadership experience, leadership potential, and a letter of reference from a faculty member. Two members of the group were guaranteed a spot as one of this year’s Presidential Scholars. The group includes 11 traditional RCC students and one Randolph Early College High School student.

“My goal is to be an elementary school teacher, and I believe that leadership is an important skill set I will need to pursue by career in the future,” said Randolph Early College High School student Shea Williams in her Leadership Academy application. “I aspire to teach others to have the qualities of a leader, not only by example, but by passing on my knowledge of leadership.”
           
In his Leadership application, Connor Bryant said, “I would like the opportunity to work with like-minded individuals with high aspirations to succeed. Making connections with these individuals will push me to the edge of my potential and help mold me into the leader I aspire to be.”
