Leadership Development encourages students to become spiritually reflective and socially responsible members of the OVU community. As leaders emerge, they will be involved in all facets of Student Life decision-making, programming, and policy-writing and enforcement as suggested by shared governance.

The Student Government Association (SGA) serves as the core element of Leadership Development. Additional student-leaders emerge from within social clubs, resident assistants, spiritual life, and student workers. All student-leaders from those groups and the SGA are invited to attend a leadership event each August. Please download the attachment on the right for more information about the 2007 conference.

Weekly and monthly meetings of SGA executive officers, Parliament, social clubs, resident assistants, and peer mentors will provide opportunities to shape Student Life.
