About The Program
History
The Leadership Program was initiated by a volunteer group of staff, faculty, and students. This grassroots committee started with a Student Leadership Conference in 2000 and continued to develop student leadership programming for the next three years. Thanks to funding from the Chancellor’s Office and strategic planning on the part of the volunteer group, the Leadership Program became a full-time university program in 2003.
