Leadership Positions
NMH students are able to apply to various different leadership positions. The Center for International Education selects a number of International Ambassadors (IAs) whose job is to welcome new international students at the beginning of each year, as well as to promote diversity throughout the year. Peer mediators are nominated by faculty members who think they are worthy of helping settle roommate issues between students. Resident leaders help with administrative tasks and monitor study hall. Each class also elects class representatives to Student Congress, which works directly with the school administration and can propose new rules or question existing ones.

Famous quotes containing the words leadership and/or positions:
“Nature, we are starting to realize, is every bit as important as nurture. Genetic influences, brain chemistry, and neurological development contribute strongly to who we are as children and what we become as adults. For example, tendencies to excessive worrying or timidity, leadership qualities, risk taking, obedience to authority, all appear to have a constitutional aspect.”
—Stanley Turecki (20th century)
“An ... important antidote to American democracy is American gerontocracy. The positions of eminence and authority in Congress are allotted in accordance with length of service, regardless of quality. Superficial observers have long criticized the United States for making a fetish of youth. This is unfair. Uniquely among modern organs of public and private administration, its national legislature rewards senility.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
