Emerging Leader Program

The University Of Memphis
Memphis, Tennessee

The Emerging Leaders Learning Community is for those who want to develop strong leadership skills and provide service in the community. These students participate in our Emerging Leaders programs and work closely with faculty, staff and student leaders. The program includes:

  • High-quality activities to enhance your discovery of service and learning
  • Opportunities to explore the Memphis community through speakers, participate in service projects and community leader shadowing
  • Opportunities to plan and participate in an off-campus experiential trip to explore concepts of leadership and service.
  • Interact with leaders and explore leadership/service opportunities in the Memphis community.
  • Interaction with faculty outside of the classroom
  • Opportunities to connect with a local community organization and commit to a long-term (academic school year) service project
  • Programs to discuss leadership roles, philosophies, and interests as emerging leaders.
