Leadership Development

Everyone can be a leader.

Rising Leaders

Rising Leaders is an opportunity for first-year students to develop intentional leadership skills, become more involved in the Raleigh community through service learning, and build authentic relationships with others in the program.

Leadership Development Program

The Leadership Development Program (LDP) provides 10 foundational workshops that are designed to engage and prepare new leaders.

One-Time Leadership Workshops

One-time commitment, stand-alone workshop offerings are designed to provide an overview of a single leadership topic.

Leader of the Pack

The Leader of the Pack program honors and recognizes students for outstanding contributions in leadership, scholarship, and service.

This program has long been a tradition on campus, dating back to the 1990s. While initially known as the Homecoming King and Queen Competition, the award transitioned to a more inclusive and equitable process—removing the gendered structure and focusing on scholarship, leadership, a commitment to creating an inclusive campus community, and service to the campus and broader community.
