Certification Requirements

Students participating in the LeadNow program can earn three leadership certifications: LeadNow: Personal Perspectives, LeadNow: Group Perspectives, and LeadNow: Global Perspectives. Specific requirements for each certification vary, but all include a combination of leadership sessions, service projects, and experiences outside the classroom. The final step in any certification is to meet with an assigned faculty Leader Mentor to discuss what you learned.

LeadNow: Personal Perspectives

Who are you really? What are your individual strengths and gifts that make you unique? What does that mean for leadership? In LeadNow: Personal Perspectives, you will explore the answers to these questions through six required sessions, a group service project, and a meeting with a Leader Mentor.

LeadNow: Group Perspectives

Leadership requires that we work with others around us. Become a more effective leader in your study group, student organization, work group, or any other group of people. This certification includes six required sessions, your choice of two elective sessions, a service experience and meeting with a Leader-Mentor.

LeadNow: Global Perspectives

Influencing the world around you requires vision and action. What does that mean, exactly? How do you build a vision and inspire action in yourself and others? Explore these questions and more in the LeadNow: Global Perspectives certification. Requirements for this certification will be announced Fall 2008.
