Serena Fleming, a neuroscience student has been elected to serve as the Vice President of the Dean’s Leadership Council. The Dean’s Leadership Council (DLC) has provided many opportunities to represent the College of Science through service, leadership, mentoring, outreach, and recruiting events.  "As a student ambassador, I enjoy working with a highly motivated team that is committed to contributing to the success of the College and its students.  This program also allows me to act as a link between the university and the outside community through assistance with alumni and recruiting functions", she said.  Functions include open houses, career fairs, and discussions with prospective students and their parents.  "I am excited to fulfill my role as the Vice President of the DLC by supporting and assisting the president and secretary, tracking and managing volunteer requirements, being involved with members of the other committees, and promoting the university’s motto of Ut Prosim", she continued.


The Dean’s Leadership Council (DLC) is made up of academically-distinguished students who serve as ambassadors for the College of Science, to the University, and communities within the New River Valley.  As a Science Ambassador, students have the opportunity to be involved in service, leadership, fund raising, social events, and outreach for the College of Science. Members interact with Deans while also providing support and assistance with alumni events and programs for students who are currently in the college at Virginia Tech.  Ambassadors are usually asked to assist with open houses, campus tours, career fairs, recruiting events, alumni functions, scholarship lunches or dinners, and college tailgates. It is an amazing program that demands dedicated and motivated students who seek to be involved with the College of Science. Not only will you enhance students' resume for future careers in science through leadership, service and professional development but more importantly you will uphold our motto UT Prosim to the fullest extent.
