IMPACT organizations serve the community in many ways.  Below is a list of each of the 10 IMPACT organizations and a brief description of the aspect of community life the organization addresses.  For more specific information, please contact the LEADERS of each organization.

Chaplain Interns

Each living area on campus has a Chaplain Intern who has the responsibility of encouraging spiritual growth in the lives of students in their living area.  Each Chaplain provides counsel and encouragement while planning and directing the activities that foster the spiritual life in the living area.   In short, the Chaplain Intern is the pastor to each living area.

LeTourneau Student Ministries

LSM provides opportunity for students to become involved in ministry on our campus, in our local community, and around the world.   LSM leaders have the opportunity to coordinate and implement strategic ministry and mission programs that impact our world for Jesus Christ.  Positions offered are President, Administrative Assistant, Secretary, Treasurer, VP of Missions, VP of Campus, VP for Community, and Director of Media.

Themelios

Themelios is a team of students who assist in the transition that new students make from home to university life.  The Themelios member becomes involved in individual students' lives, as well as assisting in carrying out group activities and programs.

Peer Advisors

The Peer Advising Program, as part of the Freshman Year Experience, assists new students in adjusting to university life.  The Peer Advisors’ main focus is to develop relationships with the incoming students.   This relationship provides the new students an immediate connection and someone to whom they can turn for a variety of needs.  About twenty Peer Advisors work with a core team of about fifteen new students throughout the school year with the goal of helping them succeed at LeTourneau University.

Publications

Two student publications, the YellowJacket newspaper and the Pioneer yearbook, provide many opportunities for students to develop their writing skills, to provide the campus with information, and to preserve the memories of each year’s events.  The editors of each publication participate in all IMPACT leadership training.

Resident Assistants

Each living area is assigned a student to serve as a Resident Assistant.  The responsibility of the RA is to lead residents in developing an atmosphere that will help students in spiritual, academic, and social growth.  As representatives of the Office of Student Affairs, they are also entrusted with the responsibility to see that all regulations concerning housing and conduct are maintained.  As mentors, encouragers, counselors, and organizers of living area activities, the RAs are a vital element of the Residence Life program.

Student Senate

Students at LeTourneau University annually elect a Student Senate that acts in cooperation with the administration as the agency to help coordinate campus activities, to help in improving campus conditions for the students, and to function as the student voice in communication between the administration, faculty, and students.  Each residence hall is considered a voting district and elects representatives to the Student Senate.  Married students and commuting students are also represented.

Student Foundation

Student Foundation is a select group of students that helps promote LeTourneau University through various community activities and scholarship fundraising programs.  Members also aid in the admissions process by participating in college fairs and campus tours as University ambassadors.  This group consists of about 20 students.

Student Government

The student body annually elects five students which comprise the Executive Cabinet for Student Government. The positions are Student Body President, Vice President, Treasurer, President of LeTourneau Student Ministries, and President of YellowJacket Activities Council. These five students provide leadership to the student body and are key liaisons between students and the administration. 

YellowJacket Activities Council

The YellowJacket Activities Council is a group of energetic and dedicated students who are committed to developing Christ-honoring activities that bring the campus together.  Seven coordinators lead committees of volunteers in the areas of athletic/recreational events, concerts, fine arts/movies, major/traditional events, MSC-1 programming, off-campus events, and publicity.  Coordinators have significant opportunities for leadership development with their participation in IMPACT, leadership of small groups, budget management, and planning and implementation of large events.
