"Leadership is not the private reserve of a few charismatic men and women. It is a process that ordinary people use when they are bringing forth the best from themselves and others."

This quote is taken from the book, "Time to Heal: American Medical Education from the Turn of the Century to the Era of Managed Care." by Kenneth M. Ludmerer.

The University of Arkansas has over 200 registered student organizations (RSOs) on campus for students who want to get involved. The Office for Student Involvement & Leadership located in the Student Union compiles a list of all the RSOs for easy access. The student organizations are categorized according to the different interest groups.
