The LEAD Journey

A four-year journey from potential to impact. You begin by building community and exploring how leadership works, then move toward creating, applying and demonstrating what you have learned — connecting coursework with experience and building a portfolio that tells your story.

Before you arrive | Meet your cohort and mentors through summer onboarding, connect with a peer mentor, and arrive with a community already forming.

Year 1 · Launch | Orientation; Honors Inquiry Seminar; regular cohort meetings; LEAD 250; the Professional Development Institute; begin your portfolio; attend the Forum.

Year 2 · Engage | Design, pitch and build LEAD Forum sessions; work across cohorts; continue electives and portfolio development.

Year 3 · ÃÛѨÊÓƵ | A second Professional Development Institute; applied experiences through internships, research, study abroad, clinicals, service or entrepreneurship; grow your portfolio.

Year 4 · Demonstrate | The LEAD 490 capstone; refine and present your portfolio publicly; mentor newer Scholars.
