Multicultural Development Student Leadership Agreement

*** Please review and sign below prior to proceeding to the next page of this application ***
Noted below is the student leadership agreement for all OMD student organizations:

● In order to serve on a student leadership team, a student must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 AND cannot be on chapel, academic, or disciplinary probation. By signing and dating below you are stating that you meet these requirements and give permission to the Registrar’s Office and Student Development to release this information to the Office of Multicultural Development staff for verification purposes.

● My primary responsibility is being a student and I am expected to attend classes, chapel, and maintain a 2.5 GPA.

● I have taken time to thoroughly read the Wheaton College Community Covenant and the Christ-Centered Diversity Commitment. I will support and completely adhere to these commitments.

● If I am placed on any type of probation, I will inform the OMD Director and staff advisor. I recognize that being on any type of probation during the academic year which I am serving could disqualify me from serving as a student leader.

● My commitment to serve as a student leader is for a full academic year.

● There is an importance of maintaining open communication with the OMD Director and staff. If I have areas of concern, I understand that I can obtain encouragement and resources from the OMD Director and staff during my time of service.

● My attendance is required at the OMD Spring Banquet on Saturday, May 3, 2025, 6:00pm to 8:30pm. I will attend this on-campus event.

● I commit to attend the IGNITE reception meeting on Wednesday, April 16, 2025 (Phelps, 3:45pm to 5:15pm).

● During the academic year there will be monthly OMD IGNITE student leadership meetings. As part of a cabinet, I plan to faithfully attend these monthly Ignite meetings.

● Throughout the year, OMD will be hosting various campus events. I understand that I am required to help out with these events.

I accept the responsibilities noted above and I am fully committed to uphold this standard that has been set before me.
