Academic Leadership
While leadership is often associated with activities that take place on-campus or in the community,
people often overlook the significance of leadership in the classroom. The academic environment gives
you the chance to take the lead on labs or group projects, take a course with a focus on leadership,
or engage in research and exploration. On a larger scale, you can join the board of your student association
or facilitate your own class on campus. The academic leadership opportunities listed below are by no
means extensive, and we encourage you to look to your department’s webpage for opportunities within
your specific major or program.
