Emerging Leaders Program 2007-2008

About the program

The University of Michigan-Dearborn Emerging Leaders Program offers cooperative education/internship students a unique opportunity to develop personal leadership knowledge and skills.  Building on a variety of leadership concepts, students are given the opportunity to meet with community leaders, work in small teams and develop personal leadership skills. The program will culminate with a Leadership Summit where we will invite community leaders to come to campus and share their perspectives of leadership with a larger community.

2. Create a leadership development plan and supporting action plan,
3. Maintain a portfolio of material developed,
4. Apply the concepts in a work environment,
