Preparing students for leadership is one of the principles that embodies the mission of Tougaloo College.  The Office of Enrollment Management and Student Affairs provide opportunities for students to develop their leadership skills by ascending to positions of leadership. This program provides training for the emerging leaders as well as the established leader.  The program focuses on a wide range of critical areas over a 9-month period beginning with a 3-5 day leadership retreat. Students may qualify to become members of the Student Government Association, Peer Educators, Tougaloo Ambassadors for Meritorious Scholars (T.A.M.S.), Resident Assistants, and the Yearbook Staff. Student leaders participate in an annual Leadership Retreat. Student Leaders are either elected or selected through an application/interview process.  Students who apply must be a full-time student, have at least a cumulative grade point average of 2.80, have health records on file, and have good citizenship.  Student leaders are expected to have a pleasant personality and be willing to dedicate a sufficient amount of time to developing programs to engage the campus community throughout the academic year.
