Potential -- the possibility, capability and capacity for growth -- captures the spirit of Collin College’s Student Leadership Academy (SLA). The academy is a semester-long course designed to promote leadership practices that foster teamwork and integrity in personal and professional development through scholarship and service.

History
Established in 2002, and modeled after local community leadership programs, SLA is a rigorous semester-long leadership experience unique to Collin College. The course is designed to encourage leadership, integrity, professional development, scholarship and service. The curriculum fosters skills through lecture, guest speakers, student facilitation and team projects. The students earn three credit hours upon completion.
