The exchange of ideas forms the foundation for growth and success. Leadership requires a two-week orientation. During this time, participants experience intense and rewarding interaction that leads to a camaraderie that is vital to the program. Leadership promotes regional study groups. The synergy that occurs when participants work together to reach common goals is one of the program's most important tools for success.
Leadership sponsors an annual conference.
Participants meet for several days every summer to make formal presentations, exchange ideas with colleagues, welcome new participants, renew old acquaintances, and meet with advisors. Leadership works through a collaborative structure. Each year approximately 20 applicants are accepted for the program. Each participant is assigned to a faculty advisor as a mentor. Leadership participants and the faculty form the program's larger team of professional colleagues.
