Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges, established in 1934, is a program honoring outstanding college students for their scholastic, extracurricular and community achievements. The University of Memphis is one of more than 2,300 institutions of higher education, which annually nominate junior, senior and graduate level students for these awards. Each year the Office of Student Leadership and Involvement will conduct a selection process for a class of students representing The University of Memphis.

Why should someone apply to be an emerging leader?
Being an Emerging Leader really helps students to get acclimated to college life. Emerging Leaders already know much about a variety of campus activities even before school begins and they move into residence halls having friends up and down the hall that they can always count on. My closest friends are Emerging Leaders and it is truly inspiring to be surrounded by friends who are just as motivated to get involved around campus. I don't know what I would be doing now if I hadn't applied to be an Emerging Leader, but I know that I wouldn't have gotten half of the opportunities that I have now and I probably wouldn't have met such amazing people. I can't imagine my life at the University of Memphis any other way.
