I joined NSCS as an undergraduate student at the University of Louisville in 2013 as a quiet student with no prior leadership experience. I remember applying for the Star Status Coordinator role and was elected to the position. From there, I grew in my leadership capabilities, ma...
I was accepted on 12/5/17 & inducted into the NSCS on my birthday (2/22/18)! After going back to school to complete my Bachelor's in Forensics & Criminology I was finally recognized for all my hard work. Although I wasn't able to be there in person I took my pledge virtually. Thi...
When I joined NSCS, I didn’t realize how much I’d grow from the experience. I’m now Vice President of Social Media at Southeastern Louisiana University. We’ve done community projects like cleaning church grounds and hosting events to reward active members.
This is a great organization, but in order to get benefits, you have to put in effort and be involved in your chapter. I have never won any of the “many scholarships” they offer... But I have made friends being apart of this achievement. Which is always a win.
A great way to gain connections and network. Great opportunity to receive or sharpen leadership skills. This organization offers an easy way to apply for scholarships once you are a member!
NSCS is a great society. I am so glad I was invited in through my university. It has so many great opportunities for students and benefits for students. I have loved my year and a half in this program and can't wait for many more.
