Student Leader Applications

Steadfast with the mission of Rochester Christian University and the Center for Student Life, the purpose of Rochester Christian University’s Student Leadership Program is to engage students in the exploration of leadership theory and practice. Through meaningful leadership experiences, students will make a positive impact on the Rochester Christian University campus and community as well as gain knowledge and skills to launch them into their post-graduate pursuits.

Students participating in the Student Leadership Program embody the best of Rochester Christian University and gain valuable experiences in areas such as public relations and marketing, oral and written communication, team building and the management of others.

We seek students that demonstrate the desire to develop: excellent interpersonal communication skills, enthusiasm for the university, leadership abilities, positivity, sound judgment, and reliability. A student leader’s responsibility includes serving as an ambassador for the University.  As ambassadors each student leader supports the university’s branding efforts by: being a positive representative of the college with everyone they meet, agreeing to share their experiences at Rochester Christian University with institutional constituents and participating in internal and external institutional marketing efforts and promotions.

Students interested in participating in the Student Leadership program are encouraged to review the eligibility requirements as well as the responsibilities and expectations for the desired position. Student leaders are selected through a rigorous application and interview process that is conducted from January through March.

Compensation for Student Leaders is determined by individual financial aid packages and institutional awards.  The basic compensation is outlined in the specific position descriptions.
