CALS Leadership Program

The CALS Leadership Program grew out of the efforts of CALS undergraduate students. In 2003 the officers of the CALS Student Council requested that the College develop a leadership program for students. The first response from faculty and staff was a winter retreat in January 2004, sponsored by the Student Council and which involved participants nominated by student organizations. Since that time faculty and staff in the College, working with the Student Council, have developed a one-credit fall-semester leadership seminar, developed a leadership certificate, sponsored winter leadership retreats, and obtained a USDA grant to train small groups of students to facilitate workshops on leadership topics for student organization meetings and classes.
