The Whitehead Leadership Society was established in November 1988 to promote and recognize scholarship and leadership among Whitehead College students and alumni, to encourage communication among current and former students and to perpetuate the traditions of the liberal arts education.
WLS members explore issues concerning education, industry and society.
Two programs each year feature prominent guest speakers. Initiation occurs during the Whitehead College Reunion in April. WLS candidates should demonstrate leadership in their cluster, community or workplace and maintain a GPA of at least 3.0 in each course. Three nominations are required, either from three faculty or from two faculty and one current WLS member.
