Cascadia Community College Students Earn National Leadership Awards

Bothell, WA - Two Cascadia Community College students, Jeff MacGillivray of Bellingham and Marcus Kendrick of Monroe, earned Certified Student Leader credentials during the National Conference on Student Leadership in San Diego, California on October 30, 2005.

MacGillivray and Kendrick were student government leaders from throughout the nation attending the conference. The award was given in recognition of high scores achieved on an examination of leadership skills. The exam tests candidates on the skills necessary for effective leadership of student organizations including running effective meetings, resolving conflicts, creating an inclusive and diverse environment, and launching successful publicity and promotional campaigns. Both MacGillivray and Kendrick were elected by the student body to serve on the 2005-2006 Cascadia Community College Student Government (CSG). Jeff MacGillivray is the CSG President and Marcus Kendrick is the CSG Vice President.

Since 1978, the National Conference on Student Leadership (NCSL) has helped student leaders enhance their leadership and organizational management skills so they can have a positive impact on their campuses. NCSL is one of the several higher education-related training resources offered by Magna Publications, Inc., a Madison, Wisconsin-based communications company founded in 1972.
