What will you do in the Montgomery Leadership Program?
The Montgomery Leadership Program is a multi-semester study of leadership skills and community service.
Tier 1
This class focuses on learning about leadership theory, personal leadership styles, and communication skills in and outside the classroom. The class (limited to 50 students) meets twice weekly. MLP Scholars are expected to complete 10 hours of community service with 5-6 other Scholars.
Scholars will choose from two class offerings if selected for the program: MW, 10 AM—11:15 AM, or TR, 9:30 AM—10:45 AM in C407B, Moseley Hall (4th Floor). The course code is SLCE 3412.
Tier 2
Montgomery Leadership students continue their leadership studies and community service by creating and implementing a capstone project. Whatever leadership or service passion you have, you will have the opportunity to make this "come to life" with other like-minded MLP Scholars under the supervision and guidance of the Montgomery Leadership Program staff.
If continuing to the capstone semester, Scholars will enroll in SLCE 4812, offered on TR, 2 PM - 3:15 PM in C407B, Moseley Hall (4th Floor).
