Emerging Leaders Class
Emerging Leaders is a three credit-hour (pass/fail) leadership course taught every spring for freshmen, sophomores, and juniors interested in studying leaders, leadership theories and the application of leadership in a variety of situations.
The Emerging Leader Class meets Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:40-4:55 during the spring semester. To take the class, you must fill out an application and go through an interview process, that takes place in November.
