We are committed to providing exceptional programs, services, and opportunities that are distinctively Christ-centered. Leadership Opportunities Campus Experience 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) Organizations Student Government Association (SGA) exists to provide a means by which the student body can express their thoughts and desires to the administration. SGA also orchestrates activities, chapels, organizations, and leadership opportunities for the benefit of the student body. Cedarville University has over 120 student organizations.
