Plaques are not just physical objects but a significant symbol that represents the hard work and dedication to personal and professional growth members have shown to complete the Steps to Induction. They are a testament to their journey with the NSLS and a reminder of the achievements they’ve made.
For in-person chapters, plaques are presented to inductees during their chapter's formal induction ceremony. This is a special moment to celebrate achievements with peers, mentors, and supporters. If you are part of an online chapter, your plaque will be carefully mailed to the home address on file. The NSLS team recognizes the significance of commemorating your journey, even in virtual spaces.
The Steps to Induction are as follows, which apply to both in-person and online chapters:
- Orientation: the first meeting that occurs each semester and will give you access to all the information you need about the program in order to successfully complete the Steps to Induction as a pre-inducted member.
- Leadership Training Day (LTD): a 2-hour interactive video training session with a workbook. This transformative seminar is designed to help you identify and overcome any obstacles that may hinder your goals. It's a unique opportunity to delve into your strengths and weaknesses and redirect your focus towards your true passions.
- Three Speaker Broadcasts: watch some of the world's most successful celebrities, authors, business leaders, and motivational speakers discussing topics related to leadership, identifying goals, facing challenges, personal growth, and successfully transitioning from college to career.
- Three Success Networking Team (SNT) Meetings: SNTs are more than just meetings. They're a platform that brings together groups of students who collaborate and provide peer coaching to achieve goals. You can openly discuss your goals, desires, and expectations, set timelines, and hold each other accountable for achieving what you want. SNTs offer a strong support network of goal-oriented students on campus.
