On July 29 – August 2 this year, sixty Student Government Presidents from the country's historically black colleges and universities will gather in Jackson, Mississippi for the third annual Nissan Student Government Leadership Program (NSGLP). The program will be held on the campus of Tougaloo College, with nationally-recognized speakers coming to participate and share their wisdom regarding leadership.
The Nissan program exposes SGA Presidents to a curriculum designed for young executives entering corporate America and continues to highlight Nissan's commitment to HBCUs and the world's future leaders. Its overwhelming success has prompted the company to once again offer this leadership experience which helps participants firmly position themselves as leaders on their campuses and in their personal and professional communities.
"The Nissan Student Government Leadership Program is an outstanding hands-on opportunity for college leaders to prepare for corporate leadership. We have gathered some of the brightest minds in the country to design a program that is meaningful and has high impact for the student participants," Stephanie Valdez Streaty, Nissan North America Sr. Manager, Philanthropy & Diversity Communications and the team leader for the NSGLP said.
Speakers who have confirmed attendance to the 2007 program include: Valerie Montgomery Rice, M.D., nationally renowned educator, clinician and researcher in women's reproductive health at Meharry Medical College School of Medicine, Reverend Dr. Nelson Rivers - corporate Chief Operating Officer of the NAACP, Gregory Anderson, writer of the No. 1 Box Office Hit "Stomp the Yard" and former NSGLP corporate participant and American Idol Winner Ruben Studdard.
Invitations for the program have been extended to all HBCUs across the country. But only the first 60 schools to return completed forms will be accepted into each all-expense-paid NSGLP session.
