The Emerging Leaders Program is designed to educate and empower first year students for positional leadership roles at Winthrop University.  The program is designed to offer incoming freshmen the opportunity to explore their leadership potential and abilities through education of leadership theories and practices, as well as personal leadership exploration.

Selected participants of the program will be expected to attend a retreat August 16-18, 2011 just prior to the opening of Welcome Week.  They will also participate in a  leadership class for an hour and a half once a week for six weeks, social events, and outside activities.  Click here to learn more about the Leadership Practices Inventory which will be used throughout the EL Program.  Upon completion of the program participants will receive a Leadership Certificate and take part in a recognition ceremony.
