Our leadership programs use strategies that allow student leaders to develop skills and abilities, provide opportunities for increased understanding of the group process, and highlight campus resources. These and other programs help to enhance the educational mission of the university. The Emerging Leaders program is designed to strengthen the leadership skills of new students at Suffolk University. Students must apply and are accepted to the program based on previously demonstrated leadership experience, involvement, and potential for leadership based on, self described goals their first year at Suffolk University . Once accepted the students participate in a seven week series, attending a weekly session led by a member of the Suffolk faculty or staff, culminating as an active participant in the Fall Leadership retreat sponsored by the Student Government Association.
Participants gain leadership abilities while learning new skills at the same time.
Interested students will have a chance to shadow an established student leader for a day. In addition, a panel discussion on campus leadership and workshops on running a campaign and preparing for the role of a leadership position will be offered for participants of this program.
