Testimony:
“NEW Leadership helped me focus and gave me a desire to aim a little higher. I gained practical skills like how to put together a speech in 3 parts, being able to articulate important bits about myself , and crafting a resume. It was a lot of little pieces that came together” -Kaylee Abbott, class of 2011
The 2013 NEW Leadership Institute will be held from Monday, June 17th – Saturday, June 22nd at the University of Washington- Seattle campus. Please contact us at newlead@uw.edu or call 206-685-1090 with questions regarding the program.
