MSL for Students and Parents
"This survey allowed me to take some time and reflect on my college experience. I am not allowed this opportunity very often and I must say it was very enjoyable because I remembered details that sometimes are taken for granted" &mdash California State University, Northridge Student.
The MSL – Putting Mission and Values to Practice
Many institutions of higher education claim that they are developing leaders, but those who participate in the MSL are proving that they do. However, we need you to enhance and expand the MSL experience, so please be sure to fill out the survey if you receive an invitation from your school to participate. This section provides answers you may have about confidentiality, the advantages of participating, as well as the role you play in improving the quality of education at your campus and advancing knowledge of leadership development nationally. We encourage you to explore the website and learn more about the MSL.
