The average g.p.a. of the students in the entering class was 3.3. Many students are involved in student government, fraternities and sororities, athletics and clubs. These activities are an important part of their growth and development in their study of leadership. Students play key roles in numerous Jepson School programs and projects, ranging from organizing a lunchtime speaker series to working closely with the Dean and the faculty through the Jepson School Student Government Association. Among JGSA's endeavors is publication of an annual Resume Collection of seniors who are ready to begin their job search.
Leadership studies is more than just a major or minor.
Some 600 students from the University, as well as visiting students from Virginia Commonwealth University and Virginia Union University, take courses in leadership studies each year. Hundreds of other students take advantage of this significant University program through enrollment in elective courses. For many students, Foundations of Leadership Studies offers an exciting way to satisfy the social analysis field of study requirement of the general education curriculum.
