"The Student Leader Fellowship Program at Northern Michigan University is one of the most exciting, challenging, and innovative programs of leadership development training in America and Canada. I have visited over 500 campuses and this program stands out because it teaches the concept of 'leadership' as a service. The hours and hours of community service completed by the students are astonishing. The program is destined to empower student leaders committed to making the world a better place."

“Being a part of such a cutting-edge leadership program was a tremendous opportunity that continues to pay dividends.  My involvement in the Student Leader Fellowship Program (SLFP) provided me with experience and insight that I continue to lean on in my business years. As a member of the first class, I’m very proud of what the SLFP has become and how many lives it impacts through involvement, mentoring, and community service. I will be forever grateful for having the opportunity to be a part of such a great organization.”

“The SLFP is a way to live my life more purposefully – by deliberately involving myself in activities that will develop my character and leadership skills while building up my community too.”

"I am constantly using my skills and ideas that the SLFP helped me develop, but now I am starting to pass these things on to the students I work with every day. It is amazing to me that I have the opportunity to influence people the way I was influenced by everyone involved in the SLFP."

"Compared to all of the leadership opportunities I have had, the Student Leader Fellowship Program has been the most innovative and interactive that I have been exposed to. From the exploration of many leadership theories in class to the implementation of those concepts in my Community Service Internship, the program has provided me with an amazing insight into the vast world of leadership. In addition to the remarkable skills that I have acquired, I have made a great number of friendships that will undoubtedly last a lifetime."
