 The summer leadership training is designed to help develop students
into leaders and prepare them for their future. The non-traditional
design of the program brings student leaders from all different
departments on campus together as one universal body of leaders,
instead of individuals, to collaborate towards a common goal.
The two week long training program includes workshops ranging from
diversity to student success.
Zach Landers, Coordinator of Student Activities at Lincoln College
said the program will help students beyond college. “Students are
learning how to become active citizens in their communities and why
it’s important to be engaged in their communities in order to
understand the culture and social issues present where they live,”
said Landers.
When asked what one of the biggest life lessons learned from this
program was, sophomore athlete and student resident assistant, Logan
McDaniel was quick to answer. “We have been given the tools to
unknowingly influence the lives of others.”
McDaniel’s statement is the message Landers hopes continues to
spread throughout the campus and community. “The entire campus
community is excited to help our students become actively engaged
and involved not only on campus, but more importantly in the Lincoln
community.”
Student leaders used those tools to give back to the Logan County
community through volunteering and service projects at the Humane
Society, Mission Mart, LC buildings and grounds, and Castle Manor,
to name a few.
The group collectively expressed they have gained appreciation and
respect for individuals and realize it’s the little actions that
matter the most.

Student Government President, Jovalle Mahon, a Junior Criminal Justice Major
said the goal moving forward is to continue to help guide incoming students with
their educational endeavors while expanding the College’s presence throughout
the community.
“When people think of Lincoln, I want them to think of Lincoln College!”
expressed Brock Bunner, Vice President of Student Government.
The student leaders represent the following areas: Student Government, Office of
Student Activities, Resident Assistants, Student Service Assistants, and
Ambassadors.
The entire student body will be back on campus for classes August 22.
