Emerging Leaders

 

Read about the Fall 2008 graduating Emerging Leaders Cohort!

A cornerstone of the leadership programs for new students at Philadelphia University is The Emerging Leaders Program (ELP). The co-curricular certificate program has been designed to help new students understand learning experiences in co-curricular life and their relationship to classroom work; to assist students in becoming effective leaders on campus and in the community at Philadelphia University; and to encourage personal growth and development through active participation in discussion, exercises, and workshops.  PhilaU faculty and staff throughout campus teach in the ELP curriculum.

Recent ELP alumni now hold executive positions in student organizations, are recognized for academic excellence and serve in such positions as Resident Assistants, START Leaders and RAMbassadors.  Participants in ELP will meet for six weeks during the fall semester. Regular meetings insure that members are committed to the program and to their own personal development.
