Juniata houses chapters for two national leadership honor societies.
National Society of Leadership and Success
The NSLS is the largest leadership honor society in the United States. Our NSLS chapter at Juniata College was started in 2013. Our local chapter is part of the national organization with 700+ chapters and over 1.4 million members. Students are selected based on exemplary academic achievement. As of 2021 we have 1,233 members who have access to:
- More than $400,000 in scholarships
- An exclusive NSLS job board

The NSLS leadership program teaches the interpersonal skills that employers seek to give you an edge in the job market. Hear directly from current members as they share how their experience has changed their life. If you become a member, some of the other benefits are:
- Learn from exceptional leaders like former President Barack Obama during exclusive Speaker Broadcasts
- Meet new friends and make lifelong connections (on-campus and virtually)
- Overcome challenges with success coaches shortcutting your way to success
- Access to private networking events
