By taking part in utmLEAD, I was able to grow and develop as a person. I met great people, enjoyed the diversity of activities during the cohort, and most importantly, I was able to work on my competencies and reach for my inner potential, one that I never knew existed until I participated in utmLEAD. (Avery Lam-Hong, Past utmLEAD Participant)
Program Overview:
The Centre for Student Engagement believes that all students have the ability to become a leader. Leadership is about challenging yourself to become an agent of change not only for your own growth, but for the growth of the entire community. Through utmLEAD, you will be able to develop your own personal philosophy of leadership and explore what being a leader means to you, others, and the community.
The utmLEAD program will provide students with an opportunity to gain leadership skills through cohorts and sessions facilitated by Peer Leadership Coaches. The cohort model will provide students with the opportunity to collaborate and build relationships with their peers.
Using the Social Change Model as our foundation, we have divided the program into three separate cohorts that focus on different components and scales of leadership. Each cohort will meet once a week for six weeks.
We encourage students to participate in one cohort per-term; however, students may choose to be involved with multiple cohorts throughout each term.
utmLEAD is recognized on the Co-Curricular Record.
