Clubs and Organizations at Cottey

More than 40 clubs and organizations at Cottey represent our students’ interests in academics, culture, recreation, social concerns, religion, and volunteerism. With all these groups, there are plenty of leadership positions that need to be filled each year. Cottey is a veritable “leadership lab” where young women like you can gain valuable leadership experiences that will help shape your future, your education, and your career path. You’ll also be a part of helping to shape student life at Cottey, while developing leadership skills and self-confidence in new areas. For a complete list of campus organizations, check the Leadership Opportunities page on the Cottey Web site.

Many students also become involved in the programs at Cottey’s Helen and George Washburn Center for Women’s Leadership, which was established to build girl’s and women’s lives through enrichment, education, and leadership development. The CWL not only brings in special guest lecturers and notable speakers, but Cottey students can get leadership certification through the LEO (Leadership, Experiences, Opportunity) program which provides student leaders with an opportunity to document and receive recognition for their experiences inside and outside the classroom and further develop leadership skills. The LEO program offers four levels of certification.
