Day One Leadership Community
Mississippi State University is developing a can-do, action-oriented generation like no other...and leadership is its name.
Welcome to the Day One Leadership Community, a state-of-the-art program designed specifically for incoming freshman-freshman
that want to be a success, are willing to be challenged, and want to make a life-changing difference from the start of
university life.
The Day One credo consists of three elements:
- Do Right: live with character, honor, and integrity at all times, in and out of the classroom.
- Do Good: the first job of a leader is to serve others.
- Do Well: excel in school; learn to lead; do well in life.
Who is Day One for?
Day One students learn to see the "big picture" and experience how to move forward. They are:
- Students with a keen sense of responsibility. Day One students seek out leadership roles and accept the responsibilities of those roles. They are self-disciplined and understand the importance of organization, communication, and accountability. They take pride in their reputation and the organizations to which they belong.
- Students with a strong character. Students with the willingness to work hard to achieve honorable goals. Day One students are goal-oriented and ambitious. They inspire others to accomplish extraordinary things, and they are motivated to make a difference in their organizations and communities.
