Emerging Leaders Applications Now Open
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 six-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
The sessions will begin on Feb. 5 and end on April 9, interested students should click on the link: Emerging Leaders to find out more about the program and to apply online through HogSync.
