We are committed to provide opportunities for you to take charge of your personal growth and development, whether as a leader of your organisation or within your community.

The NUS Leadership Excellence And Development (LEAD) programme seeks to empower prospective student leaders (SL) to gain deeper insight into their socio-emotional competencies and leadership skills and better equip them to lead with success in their leadership appointments, on campus and in the larger community.

As Orientation Leaders, you will undergo the NUS Orientation Leaders’ Symposium (NOLS), an experiential learning-based programme that aims to provide Orientation leaders a paradigm shift on the design of Orientation activities as well as the Situational Judgement Training and Reflection (SJTR), an online quiz comprising several real-life case scenarios that depict situations encountered during orientation.

My senior told me that I would be making a lot of mistakes throughout my term. The journey will be long and arduous, and I will eventually learn from my mistakes. Student leaders who undergo the LEAD programme will be able to apply their skills and knowledge beyond the NUS years and into the workforce.
