Leadership Programs

Unlike any other liberal arts college in the country, our first- and second-year students are wholly responsible for the leadership of campus organizations and activities. This gives you uncommon opportunities to lead.
The staff of our Office of Student Involvement and Leadership provides many opportunities for you to discover your talents and grow your leadership skills.
