The President's Leadership Program (PLP) is a thorough leadership development experience that provides academic and experiential courses designed to explore the personal, organizational, and social aspects of leadership. Students will participate in retreats, service projects, and internships that allow them to apply the leadership knowledge and training they acquire in class. We currently offer three separate leadership courses at the introductory, intermediate, and advanced level; each year holds a unique application process and there is no requirement that students must complete all three years. If a student chooses to complete all three courses of PLP, they will have the opportunity to earn an Interdisciplinary Minor in Leadership Studies.
