The Emerging Leaders Program
Are
you interested in getting involved on campus? Would you like
to discover your leadership ability? Would you like to develop
your leadership skills? The Emerging Leaders Program is a leadership development opportunity for
first and second year students which will help you develop your
leadership potential and contribute positively to the Columbia
community. We are now accepting applications for the fall program.
Sessions take place Tuesday evenings beginning in September. Now in its
8th year, the ELP has a strong network of over 200 alumni to welcome you
to campus!
Program Components
The Emerging Leaders Program is a semester long experience
made up of four distinct components.

Leadership Frameworks- An understanding of general
leadership models and theories and their application to your
college experience.
Who Am I? - An assessment of your personal leadership
style, skill level, experiences and development of your personal
leadership mission.
Getting There - The tools and information needed to
get started and create your own long-term action plan.
Leadership Labs - A unique leadership experience where
you will work with a team of students and an advisor to develop,
coordinate, and launch a project of your choosing within the
Columbia community.
After successfully completing the program, you will
be given the opportunity to become an integral part of LEAD
by acting as a mentor to future participants of the program
and/or by helping to coordinate future sessions.
