Emerging Leaders

Applications open now until Wednesday, September 8!
Emerging Leaders is for beginning leaders (mostly first and second year students) looking to start developing leadership skills and figure out how to navigate getting involved at SIUE. Over the course of 8 weekly in person sessions, students will explore topics like conflict management, self-care, and balancing time commitments. Apply here! 

Legacy

Applications open now until Friday, September 10!
Legacy is for advanced leaders (mostly juniors, seniors, and graduate students) looking to fine tune their leadership style. This selective program will feature biweekly meetings using an adaptive curriculum, meaning content will be altered to fit the specific needs of the group selected. However, some topics will stay consistent, such as maximizing strengths, navigating ethics, and analyzing group dynamics. As a group, participants will complete a capstone project, and individually, they will put together leadership manifestos and personal leadership development plans that will be useful post-graduation.   Sign up here! 

Catalyst

Registration open now until Friday, September 3!  (for Saturday, September 11; other dates available at the link below.)
Catalyst provides students with a one day leadership deep dive, focusing on information, activities, and reflections on your personal leadership style and your commitment to making a difference in the world around you. Sign up for our September date or any of our other three dates here!

Assistant Director for Leadership Programs, Melinda Stitzel:  melidan@siue.edu
