As leaders, we must remain mindful of our actions and the impact they have on others. True leadership requires a strong sense of responsibility—to ourselves, to the organizations we serve, and to the people around us.
As leaders and advisors, we will:

* Serve as role models.
* Be inclusive of all students.
* Maintain respect towards others.
* Encourage others to reach their full potential.
* Fulfill our roles responsibly and ethically.
* Abide by all rules and maintain MASC’s integrity.
