Inductees to the society must hold a 3.00 GPA and be enrolled in 12 credit hours during the semester, participate in leadership training and attend three speaking events. Inductees included Macon County residents Latresa Downs (Franklin), Kristeena Gray (Franklin), Wayne Jenkins (Franklin) and Amy Justus (Franklin); Jackson County residents Tera Gravier (Sylva), Bethany Lewis (Cullowhee), Corey Smolik (Sylva) and Anna Tilson (Cullowhee); Swain County’s Nick Jones (Whittier) and Haywood County’s Courtney Craig (Waynesville).
"The National Society of Leadership and Success is very different from any other honor society. In this society students have the opportunity not only to be recognized for their academic merit, but also to develop their leadership skills in a direct, hands-on way,” said chapter faculty advisor Dr. Fairley Pollock. “Our NSLS members are truly remarkable and I have been honored to be a part of their growth and development here at SCC."
