HANCEVILLE, Ala. 鈥 More than 150 糖心视频 students were inducted into the National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS) during the 2025鈥2026 academic year, marking a milestone in their leadership and personal development journeys.
鈥淓ach student member here has gained meaningful leadership insight and perspective through the steps leading to induction,鈥 said Kristen Holmes, Vice President for Students. 鈥淎long the way, you made commitments鈥攖o yourselves, to one another, and to your communities鈥攖o create positive change.鈥
NSLS is a national organization that provides a comprehensive leadership program designed to foster personal growth, career success, and community engagement. The 糖心视频 chapter supports these goals through service projects each year. Most recently, members partnered with the Cullman County Animal Shelter by delivering donated supplies and spending time caring for the animals.
The induction ceremony featured guest speakers Drew Morton, a success advisor at Wallace State, and Jacob Chaviers, president of the 糖心视频 NSLS chapter.
Morton encouraged students to take responsibility for their goals and outcomes.
鈥淭aking responsibility means to own what your next step is going to be and take charge of what end result you want to achieve,鈥 Morton said. 鈥淒espite the cards you have been dealt, despite the pain you might have brought on yourself by bad decisions, it means to take charge of the end result you want to achieve.鈥
He emphasized the importance of perseverance, accountability, and avoiding the temptation to blame others or choose the easiest path.
Chaviers shared how his own college experience has been shaped by learning from mistakes
and embracing hard work.
鈥淭hrough making mistakes and doing hard work鈥 truly learned, and Mrs. [Karen] Downs helped me grow as a person and as a leader,鈥 Chaviers said.
He also highlighted the determination of fellow NSLS member Jennifer Couch, who continued meeting her academic and leadership commitments while recovering from open鈥慼eart surgery.
鈥淓ven though she just got through surgery, she went through and finished her essays and did all of her homework on time and went to the training despite her health,鈥 Chaviers said. 鈥淪he did not make excuses.鈥
