Return to: 1500 Student Life and Services

Leadership Programs provides a variety of programs and services to assist students in developing their leadership potential and considering how they can positively influence their individual communities. All students have leadership potential. Thus, Leadership Programs’ philosophy is based on a new way of thinking about leadership that emphasizes process over position and encourages everyone to consider how they can make a positive change in the world. This philosophy is guided by the Social Change Model of Leadership Development, a leadership model designed specifically with college students in mind.

Prior leadership experience is not required to participate in the programs. Students are encouraged to take advantage of all the programs and services. A strong leadership background will not only enhance students’ collegiate experience but will also prepare them for life after college. Students are encouraged to select leadership programs, retreats, and events tailored to their individual needs. Participation in Leadership Programs events provides students the opportunity to earn a Student Leadership Certificate.
