Student Engagement and Leadership (SEAL) is once again offering a virtual two-semester program to earn the Communicate and LEAD — Leadership Education Advocacy and Development — certificate. The goal of the training is to nurture leadership skills in students by participating in trainings during the fall and spring semesters that include an orientation, two leadership programs, the StrengthsQuest assessment, several coaching appointments, and a meeting with Career and Professional Development. From there, students must attend other events under the categories of communication, career, knowledge of people, information literacy and learning, and know yourself. Students complete these elective events at their own pace. This certificate program includes collaboration with other units like Career and Professional Development (CPD), the Center for Student Achievement, the Library, the Office of Global Programs, and the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Last year, 80 students participated in this certificate program. The deadline to participate this year is Thursday, September 30.

SEAL is also offering a new leadership option for students. Penn State Abington has joined the prestigious network of colleges that house a National Society of Leadership and Success Chapter (NSLS). NSLS is now part of SEAL's robust array of leadership programs. Currently, 200 students with GPAs of 3.0 or higher have accepted the invitation to join and participate. This accredited program offers many connections and avenues to engage in students' leadership education.
