Students apply for these positions and are evaluated based on their NSCS involvement and their adherence to NSCS’ values of scholarship, leadership and service.

The Council serves as a sounding board for the Society’s staff; Council members also attend a local new member Induction Convocation and conduct research on their campus about members’ needs. The President and Executive Vice President also participate in NSCS’ Board of Directors’ meetings, held twice a year.
