The SF State Lam Family College of Business Leadership EDGE is a co-curricular engagement program designed to help students find and participate in college activities occurring virtually and on campus! The purpose of the Leadership EDGE program is to provide students with opportunities and experiences to help them grow to their full potential.
1. Suitable: Students earn points for activities, event attendance, and accomplishments at varying levels. These activities help students be a contributor and a leader in their future work environment.
