Emerging Leaders Program
 Emerging Leaders is a competitive first semester program of about 30-40 first year students who want to learn more about leadership, program planning, and campus involvement. The program kicks off with a weekend retreat where members will bond, participate in team building activities, learn about various leadership projects on campus, and learn a few basic leadership models and theories.
Other components of the program include four large group meetings, participation in planning a group leadership project with an upper class mentor, and completion of a leadership workbook. Meetings may include topics such as time management and goal setting, program and event planning, personal leadership styles, and pathways of leadership.
What are the benefits of participating in the Emerging Leaders program?
Students who complete the program will have an advantage in finding internships, RA positions, and other positions within student organizations. They will also be qualified to participate in the Apprentice Program their second semester.
What our Emerging Leaders say
“I
knew I liked being a leader but Emerging Leaders assured me that this
is the right path because I am passionate about it and view leadership
now as one of my strengths.” -2010 Emerging Leaders Participant
“Through
the workshops, group involvement, and retreat I have grown and become a
different person.” -2010 Emerging Leaders Participant

more confident about my strengths and my weaknesses. I realized I don't
have to be good at everything. By working together, people can use their
strengths in the place of my weaknesses.” -2008 Emerging Leaders

takes passion, dedication, and communication to be a successful leader
