As a small liberal arts university, EMU provides a myriad of ways for students to practice leadership - to learn, experiment, make mistakes and grow outside comfort zones - whether through athletics and academics, student government, residence life, campus ministries and more.

Leadership style and abilities emerge from experience and from constant learning, Vice President of Student Life Jim Smucker said in his welcome to Eastern Mennonite University's spring semester recognition chapel. "We work, we experiment, we make mistakes, we learn, we make adjustments and we work some more, all in hopes of making a contribution to the common good of the community."

"Today we want to recognize a number of folks who have been engaged in this practice, using their time, gifts and abilities for the betterment of our community," he said. "From my vantage point in student life, it has been inspiring to see up close and personal, the many leadership contributions, of so many on our campus. Today we celebrate with you, and thank you for these contributions."
