The Emerging Leaders Program is an initiative to identify new students who are interested in becoming student leaders on the George Mason University campus. Its mission is to train these students to give them the background skills necessary to become successful student leaders. A group of 4 core and various elective workshops prepare these students for leadership positions. A diverse group of current Mason student leaders facilitate the workshops. The student organizations and on campus offices these students have been active in include Student Government, The Freshman Center, Campus Networks, Student Umbrella system, University Scholars Program, Center for Service and Leadership, Minority Student Affairs, and Office of Campus Life.
Facilitators represent both a wide variety of class levels and majors.
