Student Involvement Highlights
Florida State University students are engaged in multiple activities across the university, ranging
from organizations and sport clubs to honor societies and service-based courses and groups. The Division of Student Affairs is pleased to highlight four university-wide programs from spring 2014: LeaderShape, Garnet & Gold Scholar Society, Dance Marathon, and Relay for Life.
LeaderShape
The LeaderShape Institute challenges participants to lead with integrity while working towards a vision grounded in their deepest values. Hosted each May, FSU’s LeaderShape has seen increased student interest with the number of applicants far outpacing the available spots in the program.
