CALS Leadership Certificate

How to Sign Up

If you're ready to enroll in the Certificate program, follow these steps:

  • Print and fill out the Intent to Earn the CALS Leadership Certificate form.
  • Come to 116 Ag Hall and receive the name of your leadership mentor from a list of CALS faculty and staff who have volunteered to serve (if there is a CALS faculty or staff person you would like to have as your mentor who is not on our list of volunteers, we can talk with you about that).
  • Visit the potential mentor to be sure you both agree to the mentoring relationship. Have the mentor sign your Intent form.
  • Visit your advisor, tell him/her what you intend to do, and ask him/her to sign your Intent form. You might ask them to read the Information for Advisors handout which is accessible on the web.
  • Return the signed form to 116 Ag Hall. This will get you formally “enrolled” in the certificate program.

Note: You must be in the Program (i.e., have declared your intent to pursue the Certificate and be in contact with a Leadership mentor) for at least one semester in order to earn the Certificate. Even though you could meet many of the competencies without the help of a mentor, there is great value in talking with your mentor about the competencies, your experiences and how your experiences tie the concepts together.
