Friends of the University:

We are pleased to introduce you to the 2019-20 President’s Leadership Council — a select group of student ambassadors who demonstrate leadership, service, scholarship and academic excellence.

This council was not designed to help students become leaders, but to develop existing leaders so they can amplify their success at UCF and after they graduate. It also serves as an extension of the presidency, allowing students to take an advisory and advocacy role on campus and to work alongside us to serve as hosts of our campus.

These students go above and beyond in everything they do, including in their passion for the university. They are some of the most involved students at UCF, serving, leading and mentoring in a variety of capacities, including LEAD Scholars, student government, athletics, research and in other clubs, organizations, councils, events and occupations across campus.

This handbook provides information on individual member’s activities, honors and experience, and should be helpful if you need a student host or representative for your department, organization or project.

We hope you take the opportunity to get to know these students. Their amazing stories and experiences are inspiring and a great reminder of what makes UCF so special.

Warmly,

Thad Seymour, Jr.Interim President

Katie SeymourUCF Ambassador

THE PRESIDENT’S LEADERSHIP COUNCIL

R E S P O N S I B I L I T I E S

The President’s Leadership Council (PLC) was established during the 1977-78 academic year to recognize students who exemplified well-rounded excellence through leadership, academic achievement, extracurricular activities and service to the university and community.

Our charter members established several goals for the PLC, among them to increase community support for UCF and to assist high school students in their knowledge of higher education. They launched a campaign to inform the Central Florida community of UCF’s offerings to students and the community. They were also responsible for the development of a peer advisement program, the establishment of a President’s Honor Roll and the Pegasus Professor award, and the implementation of a series of leadership seminars for students.

PLC members serve the university by acting as a student advisory group to the president. Its members represent the university in a variety of situations and settings, both on and off campus. During the 2018-19 academic year, the organization contributed more than 4,500 hours of public service to the university.

To qualify for the President’s Leadership Council, candidates must submit two letters of reference, along with an application, to the PLC Advisory Committee. The candidates must be degree-seeking students of junior standing or higher by the end of the spring term in which they apply and have an overall grade point average of 3.0 or better. The candidates must also have demonstrated leadership ability through involvement in university and community activities.

The members of the PLC serve UCF as official student ambassadors at special events such as commencement, President’s Appreciation Receptions and Board of Trustees’ meetings. PLC members have established a tradition of leadership for students at UCF. Members of the council are also expected to maintain a commitment to personal and professional development, and to act with professionalism while carrying out their respective duties.

In return, PLC members receive training in leadership and professionalism as a result of their interaction with campus and community leaders. In return for their service, the council seeks to cultivate and refine the skills and abilities of these top students.
