LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Addison Langston hopes to be a pharmacist after she
leaves Clemson, but first she’s been busy building a
résumé ripe with leadership experiences. A resident
assistant on main campus, Langston was one of five
students chosen to represent Clemson at the 2023 ACC
Leadership Symposium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in
February. The symposium brought together students
from each Atlantic Coast Conference institution for
leadership training, professional development and
networking opportunities.
“When my schooling is done, I know I’ll need to interact
with other pharmacists and doctors and patients,”
Langston said. “You’ve got to have leadership qualities,
and a lot of the skills we talked about during the
symposium translate into your day-to-day life.”

The symposium exposed our students to different ways of thinking about leadership. You can
have the academic knowledge and theory to be successful, but when you couple it with leadership skills
it can set you apart from others. —Chris Spellman, Center for Student Leadership and Engagement
