Emerging Leaders is a program primarily for first year students who are interested in testing their leadership skills and learning more about what it means to be a leader. The program’s focus is to develop successful student leaders who have the desire to become involved in campus and community life. Students are nominated by faculty and staff during the fall semester to receive an application for the program. Students who apply are evaluated on the basis of their application and may be accepted into the program.

The program is held during the first eight weeks of the spring semester. Sessions meet each week for about ninety minutes. The Emerging Leaders program focuses on a variety of leadership topics, such as leadership style, communication skills, decision making, working with diverse populations, and more. These sessions are presented in a highly interactive format of seminars, guest speakers, professional development experiences and small group projects.
