On August 4, 2026, American Public University System combined with Rasmussen University and Hondros College of Nursing to form a single higher education institution. American Public University System (the System) now includes American Public University, American Military University, Rasmussen University, and Hondros College of Nursing. The System is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Public Education, Inc. (APEI). We are continuing to update our website to reflect our new structure.

Campus Leadership and Volunteering

Campus leadership opportunities are an important part of the student experience and provide unique occasions for personal and professional development. Campus leaders can be faculty, staff, students, and alumni and hold a variety of volunteer positions, including mentors, community moderators, chapter officers, and ambassadors. Students can inquire and read position descriptions by visiting the Campus Leader webpage.

The Office of Student & Alumni Affairs administers the campus leadership program and can help interested participants decide on roles, answer questions, and advise on open positions. Specific campus leader roles are administered by various departments in the university.

To be eligible to be a campus leader as a student, they must be in good academic standing with the university and comply with university policies on academic integrity. If a student's academic status at the university changes while they are serving their term as a campus leader, they may be removed from the position until they are able to return to good standing.

The success of the campus leader program is dependent on engaged students who want to be part of the co- and extra-curricular experiences at APU. Participation in a campus leadership role will not result in academic credit or in being paid, but could help connect classroom learning to everyday experiences and broaden a student's network of APU affiliates.

For additional questions or to contact someone about becoming a campus leader, contact the Office of Student & Alumni Affairs at studentactivities@apus.edu or 877-221-5727.
