The Student Leadership Institute (SLI) at Santiago Canyon College is a non-credit certificate program in partnership with Cal State Fullerton. SLI Students are required to attend a series of workshops and will earn a leadership certificate from Cal State Fullerton upon program completion. Workshops are offered in collaboration with CSU, Fullerton and SCC and focus on developing necessary skills for effective leadership and overall character. Participation in SLI is free of charge and open to all SCC students. There are no minimum unit requirements, specific GPA nor prior leadership experience needed to participate in the program.
**New: As our campus navigates ever-changing updates related to COVID-19, CSU Fullerton has canceled the SLI Banquet for spring 2020. CSU Fullerton will continue to wrap up SLI and provide all participants with a Certificate of Completion. An end of the year slide show link will be provided to you as well. We appreciate your patience, flexibility, and understanding during this critical time.
In person meetings are suspended until further notice. Please refer to the RSCCD web page for up to date information: www.rsccd.edu
