SSS Board of Leaders


The Board of Leaders are responsible for planning and coordinating many SSS activities such as the Ice Cream Social and the Fried Chicken Night with the Alumni Panel. 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 15 members serve on committees that help SSS collaborate with various offices on campus. There are 7 committees: MACO Committee, CEL Committee, Student Senate Committee, New Student Committee, TRiO Committee, Faculty Committee and Administrative 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 Buntrock Commons Room 108G.

All SSS students are welcome at the Board Meetings. We welcome your ideas and we would love to have you join us.

Please contact Justin Fleming, SSS Associate Director at flemingj@stolaf.edu or a Board member if you would like to learn more about the SSS Board of Leaders.
