Leadership Opportunities
Emerging Leader
Emerging Leaders is an interactive learning experience intended to introduce students to leadership and new opportunities at Nebraska Methodist College. The program's focus is to develop successful student leaders who have the desire to become involved in campus and community life. To earn the certificate, students are required to attend a series of guest lectures and participate in leadership development activities. The leadership series schedule is emailed to students at the start of each fall semester. Certificates are given at Student Awards Night in April of each academic year. For more information about the program please contact Erika Pritchard at erika.pritchard@methodistcollege.edu.
Workshops
NMC offers a variety of workshops each semester to strengthen and reinforce academic and personal success. Examples of these workshops are test taking strategies, time management, academic skill building, etc... Check back soon for upcoming workshops.
Supplemental Instruction
Supplemental Instruction (SI) consists of peer facilitated academic support provided outside of class time each week. SI is provided as a complement to our historically difficult courses across our academic curriculum. The SI leader attends the actual class and conducts SI sessions to supplement the learning that occurred during class time. Students are encouraged to take advantage of this group study time that is offered at no cost. For additional information on SI please contact Lisa Flairty at lisa.flairty@methodistcollege.edu

- Avoid cramming for tests.
- Break down the information you need to learn into sections.
- Compare and contrast the information.
When taking a test:
- Read the directions carefully.
- Look for key words in the test questions.
