LeaderShop Alumni Series

LeaderShop aims to bridge the gap between undergraduate co-curricular experiences and real-world application by helping students identify their purposeful trajectory and leadership skills. 

Through this program, students are empowered to take charge of their personal development while gaining the reflective abilities needed to express their growth effectively. While classroom experiences are crucial for technical skills, LeaderShop emphasizes the development of "people skills" through outside-the-classroom experiences. By connecting students with young alumni leaders, LeaderShop provides valuable insights and prepares students for future success in their post-graduate careers
