What to look for in a future Leadership Program student:

• Students who have demonstrated a motivation to step up. They don't necessarily need to hold a formal leadership position.
• Students who see a problem and act to solve it whether in the classroom, the community or another setting.
• Students who work to create connections and build community, such as in the way that they interact with peers in class or in a residence hall.
• Students who are committed to their own learning and personal growth. They don't need to be perfectly polished but are hungry to learn and get better at what they do.
• Students who have a sense of the kinds of questions that animate their life, who are passionate about particular lines of inquiry and seek to build a body of work around them through their scholarship, service, leadership and career.
