Supported Student Organizations
The Center for Community & Learning supports several student organizations across the college. Our goal is to support any student organization that has experienced underservice or underrepresentation at TCC. The Community & Learning area focuses on helping students by advocating for the removal of unnecessary barriers, along with promoting leadership development.
Here are some student organizations that Success Coaches have worked with to support success efforts:
- The National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS)
- Learn, Empower, Achieve, and Develop
- Single Parents Who Are Students (SWAP)
- African American Student Association (AASA)
- Chinese American Culture Association (CACA)
The National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS)
The National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS) is the largest leadership honor society in the United States. Our NSLS chapter at TCC was started in 2016. Our local chapter is part of the national organization with 700+ chapters and over 1.4 million members.
Students are selected based on exemplary academic achievement. As of 2021, we have 2,083 members who have access to:
- More than $400,000 in scholarships.
- An exclusive NSLS job board.
- A personalized letter of recommendation.
The NSLS leadership program teaches the interpersonal skills that employers seek to give you an edge in the job market. Hear directly from current members as they share how their experience has changed their life.
If you become a member, some of the other benefits are:
- Learn from exceptional leaders like former President Barack Obama during exclusive Speaker Broadcasts.
- Meet new friends and make lifelong connections (on-campus and virtually).
- Overcome challenges with success coaches shortcutting your way to success.
- Access to private networking events.
