Leadership can be a first step in shaping the kind of university experience you want for yourself and others. Join the Leadership Team on your campus and create a space where students feel connected, supported, and part of something fun and meaningful. You don’t need to have experience or a perfect plan—just a willingness to take initiative and bring people together in ways that feel authentic to you.

Once you sign up, you’ll receive guidance from HAPHE: not rules you must follow, but practical, student-tested steps that you can adapt to your own campus. This is not a replacement for student unions or official societies, but it can be a way to spark healthier, more inclusive communities. Some students say that leading gave them unexpected confidence and friendships that lasted long after. And while the primary purpose is for your growth, your courage to lead may also inspire others to step forward in the same way.
