- Gain leadership experience - NSCS is one of a few organization that allows anyone to become an officer. No previous leadership experience is required, and it's a good organization to get your feet wet with leadership.
- Network - As a leader in NSCS, you get the opportunity to not only network with hundreds of students in many different departments, but you also get to meet the student and faculty leadership around the school. You may not know it now, but these people can make a big difference in your future, whether it's applying for jobs or internships or asking for letters of recommendation for graduate school.
- Boost your resume - Without leadership experience, many companies will not hire you these days. Especially if you work in engineering, team building and team dynamics are vital tools that need to be developed.
- Make a difference at Tech - Being a student leader is one of the easiest ways to make a true impact on student life here at Tech. Sure, there are other venues, but there is a sense of pride and accomplishment that comes with seeing something come to life that you personally developed.
