Higher Education

The President's Leadership Council (PLC) was established during the 1977-1978 academic year to recognize students who exemplify well-rounded excellence through leadership, academic achievement, extracurricular activities, and service to the university and community.Our charter members established several goals for the PLC, among them to increase community support for UCF and to assist high school students in their knowledge of higher education. They launched a campaign to inform the Central Florida community of what UCF offers both to students and to the community. They were also responsible for the development of a peer advisement program, the establishment of a President's Honor Roll, and the implementation of a series of leadership seminars for students. These original goals have been expanded for today's PLC members to include serving the University of Central Florida, acting as a student advisory group to the university president, and educating and developing each individual council member.Today, PLC members represent the university in a variety of situations and settings, both on and off campus. During the 2009-2010 academic year, the organization contributed more than 4000 hours in public service for the university. In return, the council seeks to cultivate and refine the skills and abilities of these top students.
