BDLP helps to develop the student’s leadership potential, encouraging their involvement in school and civic activities. Through the BLDP seminar, students will gain numerous networking opportunities with local business leaders, executives, and previous program participants. The BDLP seminar is a 3-credit, graded course that could possibly go towards your major, minor, or an elective. Completion of the BDLP seminar is a great résumé-building item, giving you an edge in life after graduation. Students completing the BLDP will receive a special designation, “Business Leader Development Program,” on their transcript upon graduation. They will also receive a leather portfolio with the BLDP logo embossed on its cover.
