New: Emerging Leader Program

From the Office of Student Life:

Open to all students, the Emerging Leader Program is a structured leadership program designed to engage students of all experiences in an exploration of leadership and success skills.

In the fall, Level One requires participants to attend three meetings and a half day workshop to focus on specific personal leadership styles.Students will be expected to attend eight workshops from a list of about 20 workshops provided by various college departments during the course of the semester. Students will be asked to work with small teams to plan an activity, support campus programs and to develop their personal success plan. We expect that students will be engaged in about 25 hours of activity, most which can be done at their own pace as schedules permit. Students will have mentors to guide them through the program.

The program is free to students, there is no penalty for failing to complete but for those who do complete they get a $50 gift card to Oakton's bookstore, and will have gained skills to help them as students, employees and leaders as well as having made connections at the College. Those who complete Level Two will receive a $300 scholarship.

Applications are due August 24 but we can accept applicants until Sept 7th if space is available.
