SSS Board of Leaders

The Board of Leaders are responsible for planning and coordinating many SSS activities such as the Ice Cream Social, the ASC/Fried Chicken Night and the Winter Retreat. In addition to these tasks, the Board of Leaders will promote leadership and campus activity within the SSS community. The Board of Leaders will expand and strengthen the relationship between SSS with the broader St. Olaf community establishing a voice that will be very important for our program.

In attaining this goal, the 14 members serve on committees that help SSS collaborate with various offices on campus. There are 4 committees: Public Relations Committee, CEL Committee, Executive Committee and Special Events Committee. Each committee has specific goals and through collaboration with one another they will ensure the success of the board in reaching its goal. Each committee reports every week with an update at the Board of Leaders weekly meeting on Mondays from 3:15pm-4:15pm in Tomson Hall 300.

All SSS students can come to the Board of Leader meetings. We welcome your ideas and we would love to have you join us.

Please contact Trey Williams, SSS Academic Advisor at williat@stolaf.edu or a Board member if you would like to learn more about the SSS Board of Leaders.
