Leaders of Milligan University’s student club/organization play a critical role on Milligan’s campus. By becoming a student club/organization leader, students are moving beyond pursuing their passion for a cause or activity, to leading people to further develop their own passion for that cause or activity. Their job description includes running productive meetings, motivating people, and balancing studies with leadership and organizational responsibilities.
