Join us for the Leadership Summit on August 19-22!

You're invited to apply for The Edge Leadership Experience— a unique opportunity for first-year incoming students to learn and practice leadership skills. Apply for the Leadership Summit, and participate in workshops and group discussions that will develop your skills:

• Learn to be a leader
• Make meaningful connections
• Meet new friends
• Inspire others
• Get involved

One hundred first-year students from all backgrounds will be selected for the experience, and guided by current student leaders. The Edge Leadership Experience is coordinated by the offices of Student Life and Residence Life.

 

If accepted, you will be placed in a family group designed to enhance your campus connections. Families will participate in contests, presentations, activities, and challenges that strengthen bonds and provide an engaging experience.
