Student Leadership and Service (SLS)
About Us
Our Mission
Student Leadership and Service (SLS) is an experiment in community. With a focus on racial equity and social justice, we connect students and other stakeholders for service-learning and community engagement.
Our Theoretical Foundations
SLS utilizes the Leadership Model for Social Change as a guide for our work. Through this model we understand leadership to be values-based, collaborative action toward positive social change. The primary themes of this model are shown below.

SLS’ work is also informed by the 4 foci of our Division of Student Life, which include:
- Diversity
- Wellness
- Academic and Experiential Learning
- Civic Leadership and Career Development
