Leadership opportunities for students with all levels of leadership skills and abilities are the key components of the Leadership Program.

All interested students can participate in a dynamic leadership and life-skills series of workshops offered each fall and spring that provide leadership education and training. Topics ranging from personal development and leadership styles to conflict management and team building are presented in interactive sessions.

Organizational leadership programs allow organizational leaders to hone their group development skills while enhancing their personal leadership abilities. Established student leaders are trained to apply and improve their leadership skills by presenting and facilitating leadership programs for student organizations, retreats and conferences. Participants learn about event planning, motivating others, and improving presentation and public speaking skills. Leadership workshops offer students an opportunity to develop leadership skills while promoting campus involvement for each class of students.

The Navigators program is a selective program held each spring that gives students an in-depth look at leadership and how they can become involved on campus. The experience capstone is an adventure trip planned by the students.

The Bobcat Speakers Bureau is a way to connect with university faculty and staff who are interested in serving as speakers at meetings, workshops, retreats or other special programs. Programs of specific interest can be designed by the Leadership Program staff upon request.

These programs provide opportunities for student leaders at all levels to work and learn together in a fun environment and enhance their leadership abilities.
