The College of Education Student Leadership Council (SLC), a standing committee of the Office of the Dean, provides for the mutual exchange of ideas and open dialogue between undergraduate and graduate students and the college administration. Monthly meetings will offer an opportunity to solicit advice and perspectives on decisions affecting matters of importance to students.
Students will gain a valuable network with college administration, faculty, staff, and other students while making a significant impact on the College of Education and Florida State University. By serving as a voice of your peers, not only will you gain valuable leadership skills, but also enhance your reasoning and critical thinking abilities.
