Center for Student Enrichment

The Student Leader Fellowship Program (SLFP) is a two-year, nationally recognized leadership program. Committed to developing competent, ethical, and community-centered leaders, the SLFP provides student fellows with a series of unique experiences such as a fall retreat, a two-credit leadership class, a community mentor, a Community Service Internship and a thorough workshop series called Skill Builders!

With around 250 registered student clubs and organizations, you will definitely find something that interests you. Student organizations sponsor campus-wide programs and events each year in addition to hundreds of group activities. Throughout your college career, student organizations at Northern Michigan University can provide you with fun, friendships, memories, and educational experiences that cannot be found in the classroom.

Superior Edge is a student development program at Northern Michigan University that provides students with the opportunity to combine in- and out-of-the-classroom experiences in a way that will provide them with an edge with employers or graduate school admissions counselors.  Superior Edge was developed as a university-wide initiative by a committee comprised of faculty, staff, and students. Superior Edge develops citizen-leaders for the 21st century. 

At the Volunteer Center, NMU students, student organizations, faculty, and staff can find out about volunteer opportunities and local contact information for non-profit organizations looking for volunteers. The Volunteer Center also coordinates Make A Difference Day.  Finally, the Volunteer Center works to encourage service through recognizing volunteers’ achievements.
