A series of leadership events held throughout the year to help enhance students’ leadership skills. These programs are offered to all students, but specifically target our students who have little to no leadership experience. These events will focus on the importance of leadership, the benefits it can provide and the skills that can be learned outside of the classroom.
Save the Date for Lead Week- February 25-27, 2025!
The Leap Cohort is for first year and sophomore students who wish to develop their leadership skills in an 9-week program. Leadership skills are developed & strengthened through weekly sessions that focus on building a strong leadership foundation. Members of the cohort will also have the opportunity to select a mentor (a faculty or staff member at Eastern) who will support their leadership development. Students must commit to the full program to receive 15 priority points.
The Cohort will meet on Thursdays in the Student Center from 3:45-5 p.m. beginning February 20 and ending April 24, 2025.
All interested students must complete the Interest Form which can be found here.
Meet with a Student Activities professional staff member to identify involvement opportunities that match your interests!
