According to NW-SCC Patriot Peer Leaders sponsor and Cultural Affairs Committee Chairperson Casey Eggleston, the purpose of the leadership summit is to develop leaders on campus and in the community.
“We really hope we can encourage our students to be leaders on campus and after they graduate,” said Eggleston. “Our students are preparing for the next phase of their lives while they are at Northwest-Shoals, and we want to give them all the tools they will need to be a successful leader in every aspect of their lives.”
The leadership summit will feature four prominent community leaders as panelists: Macke Mauldin, Bank Independent President; Kyle Buchanan, Helen Keller Hospital President; Dr. Roderick Sheppard, Florence High School Principal; and Dr. Crystal Reed, NW-SCC Assistant Dean of Student Success.
