Emerging Leaders Program

We offer a series of free classroom style leadership programs that immerse you in self-discovery - values, strengths, leadership styles, communication, and more. These programs are called Emerging Leaders, Evolving Leaders, and Engaging Leaders. The knowledge and experience you gain through participating in these programs will allow you to articulate your abilities within your groups, networking events, and interviews. Each program is one hour of participation per week over a eight week period. While students are encouraged to take these programs in the following order, it is not a requirement.
