Dirigo Leadership Honor Society

The Center for Student Engagement and Leadership is proud to sponsor Dirigo, an honor society for students who have excelled as leaders throughout their college tenure.  

The term “Dirigo” is Latin for “I lead” or “I guide.” This honor will only be bestowed upon students with the strongest leadership skills, demonstrated by their acceptance into the honor society and subsequent completion of leadership development experiences.
