Step 2: Review Your Options

Students can earn a Passport to Leadership certificate by completing seven workshops throughout the year including three mandatory sessions. Students who attend these three mandatory workshops and four workshops of their choice will receive the General Leadership certificate.

All students must complete the three following mandatory sessions:
         1. What’s Your Leadership Style?
         2. Public Speaking 101
         3. Our Diverse Communities: What Every Leader Should Know

Participants also have the option to select a specific theme of leadership. In addition to completing the three mandatory workshops, students can tailor their experience by selecting either the Entrepreneurial or Civic Engagement concentration. Students can earn a certificate using one of the following combinations:

3 Mandatory sessions + 4 of any session = General Leadership Certificate

3 Mandatory sessions + 4 Entrepreneurial sessions = Entrepreneurial Leadership Certificate

3 Mandatory sessions + 4 Civic Engagement sessions = Civic Engagement Leadership Certificate

All participants must complete at least seven workshops to earn a certificate. Check out the Passport website for additional on-campus events that are included in the Passport series. Such events include, but are not limited to participation in the Campus Organization Leadership Retreat, MLK Day of Service, and Alternative Break Programs. Students may use up to 3 of these additional events as credits toward the
certificate.
