Through the passion and hard work of CBE’s ambitious student leaders, the CBE Student Leadership Council (SLC) had a milestone year.
The organization comprised of leaders from each of the college’s 18 student organizations set out at the beginning of the 2015-16 school year to become more engaged in the college’s operations, be more visible and encourage more CBE students to get involved in student organizations.
The group held a strategic planning retreat in the fall where it crafted its vision for the future along with a new mission statement: The SLC advocates for a collaborative environment that transforms our community by: communicating our mission/story to various stakeholders, creating opportunities for connecting, and giving back to our community. SLC has made good on their community service commitment and then some.
The group held a canned food drive that brought in 250 cans for a local food pantry. The group also raised more than $600 for the CBE’s Forward Momentum Scholarship Campaign for Towson’s 150th anniversary. In March, the group took to the courts with a basketball tournament with 12 teams participating and raising more than $400. And in April, SLC hosted spaghetti dinner at The Green Turtle in Towson which netted an additional $267 for the scholarship fund.
