The Oaks Leadership Scholars
Leadership. Equity. Justice. Inclusion. Action. Change.
Student leadership development is at the heart of what we do!
The Oaks Leadership Scholars program challenges NC State students to see themselves as leaders of change in their communities. The Oaks provides evidence-based transformative leadership development with the goal of reaching justice and equity outcomes through programming, mentoring, and travel. We hear the question, “Leadership for what?” and we say “For a better, stronger, and more just world.”

My year was a fundamental part of my undergraduate experience; from the incredible mentors to my excellent peers, this program is full of top notch people committed to helping others. I’m grateful for my experience with the Oaks Scholars and the ways that it still impacts my life today.”
