Student Life Programs
Student Life Programs provides cocurricular activities,
events, programs, and involvement opportunities with the goal
of developing lifelong leaders who influence and love others
and pursue excellence in all areas of life. We are committed to
providing exceptional programs, services, and opportunities that
are distinctively Christ-centered.
Leadership Opportunities
Student Life Programs provides opportunities for students to
serve as leaders as well as providing leadership development
opportunities. CU LEAD is a holistic leadership development
program committed to assisting Cedarville University students in
not only understanding but establishing and developing a biblical
foundation for service-based leadership. CU LEAD is designed to
enhance the leadership ability of students by providing them with
a lens to view leadership and leadership opportunities. The core
of the CU LEAD program is the foundation of leadership, which is
defined by the following:
• Stewardship – We recognize that all of our gifts, abilities, and
talents are given to us from God, and we are responsible to
use them for His glory in the service of others. (1 Pet. 4:10)
• Influence – We recognize that true leadership is influence. We
all have influence and it is our privilege and responsibility to
influence, others. We must lead like Jesus who did not have
a position in society but radically changed the world for the
Kingdom of God through his influence.
• Service – We recognize that true leadership is not a position
of honor or power but one of humility and service. (Heb. 13)
CU LEAD provides participants with a specific and focused
curriculum through three distinct phases. The focus of the CU
LEAD program is to prepare participants for lifelong leadership
and service.
• Phase 1 – Participants will know and accept that true
leadership is an act of stewardship and service and seek to
influence others.
• Phase 2 – Participants will view leadership and leadership
opportunities through a Christ-centered lens and seek to
demonstrate a love for God and a love for Others while
pursing integrity in their conduct and demonstrating
excellence in their effort.
• Phase 3 – Participants will seek to develop and grow in
their leadership and influence by continually answering the
following questions: Who did God create me to be? Why
should I lead? What can I do to improve as a leader? How
should I lead?
