The Emerging Leaders program is an exciting and engaging leadership introductory and development program designed for first-year students and others seeking to develop their leadership skills. This eight-week program provides students a chance to meet new people, explore new ideas, and become more involved in university-wide leadership opportunities including student government, student organization officer positions, residence hall leadership, and student mentor positions.
The Emerging Leaders program is open to all first-year students, but sophomores are encouraged to apply as well. The weeks are divided into different topics that have been found to be critical to developing strong leadership skills:
- Leadership Foundations
- Diversity, Ethics, & Leadership
- Communication, Conflict, & Leadership
- Professionalism & Leadership Application
Sessions will be offered Mondays and Wednesdays and run from 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM each day.
