Student leader

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A student leader is typically a college student who serves in a leadership position on their campus. The term student leader can also refer to high school students.

[edit] Examples

A student leader could be any of the following:

• Resident Assistant
• Member of student government
• Member of Residence Hall Association or NACURH or NRHH
• Member of incoming freshmen orientation team
• Student assistant or employee
• Member of any number of student clubs or organizations

[edit] Position details

Student leadership positions are often made available through an application process. This process varies from school to school and position to position, some being highly selective while others are relatively easy to fill. Some student leadership positions are unpaid while others receive an hourly wage for their work. Many positions that have odd hours or unclear work times will receive a stipend rather than an hourly wage. This is often the case for resident assistants and members of student government.
