Campus Life °µÍø±¬ÁÏapp Leadership Development Program
Leadership is a relationship that involves inspiring change and transformation.
WLDP invests in first-year students who demonstrate leadership potential and a commitment to ongoing learning. The engaging five-week program is cohort-based, with space for approximately 25 participants representing a diverse cross-section students. Applicants must be nominated by a °µÍø±¬ÁÏapp employee to apply. Applications do not guarantee participation in the program, as we aim to create a well-balanced and diverse cohort.
Over the course of the program, participants will:
Create a collaborative learning community

Gain practical skills & confidence to serve as a leader on campus or in your communities.

Alumni Reflections
"WLDP is a fun community building experience. Seeing my cohort friends two years later, we fondly look back at recognize the ways we have grown as leaders. WLDP was a foundational experience and I’d highly recommend to anyone who wishes to learn more about servant leadership!"

"WLDP clarified my strengths and talents alongside a community of like-minded students! Dr. D'Amour excels in cultivating a space where everyone feels welcome to share and be challenged in their beliefs, promoting constructive conversation about complex issues. I have leaned on relationships I made through WLDP in the role of Student Body President and recommend all to be a part of this cohort of emerging leaders!"
