Emerging Leaders Program

During the twelve-month program, the cohort will meet on Wednesdays. The first Wednesday of each month will be an all-day session, then each following week for two-hours (11:00 AM – 1:00 PM). Meetings will take place at various locations on campus or remotely.

Program participants should expect meetings to encompass elements of critical thinking, problem solving, self-analysis, exposure to new ideas, and rigorous and healthy discussion on a myriad of topics, and high levels of fellowship and interaction with fellow classmates.
