Mount Leadership Society
The Mount Leadership Society is one of sixteen scholars programs on campus. Named after Ruth Weimer Mount (the first Dean of Students at Ohio State), the Mount Leadership Society focuses on students committed to leadership, service, and social change. Students apply for the Mount program as part of their college application and further develop their skills by participating in a wide variety of leadership and service projects. It is an honor to be a Mount Scholar. Only 100 students are selected each year to be part of the program.
