Student Handbook - Marymount University

It is important to get involved! Students who become
involved in their campus community are more successful
and satisfied with their college experience and gain
valuable skills that they can use throughout their lives.
Students who cultivate leadership skills are able to make
significant contributions, serve as visionary thinkers, and
work interdependently in a global community.
There are also a number of leadership positions that
are available through an application process. Visit the
Leadership Development Office, located in The Lodge, to
learn more about these opportunities.

achievements of graduating students who have held
leadership positions and/or have made a significant
contribution to campus life through student activities.
Award eligibility and criteria are described in the Student
Activities Manual.
Surveys
Authorization must be obtained from the Office of
Student Development to conduct a survey anywhere on
