To remove the barriers that may have prevented students from engaging in the Leadership Experience and make it more accessible to our entire community, we have revamped this component of the University Honors Laureate award.
- Retroactive experiences may now be used to complete the Leadership Experience, as long as they occurred after a student began at UConn.
- The Leadership Experience is no longer required to be a “project.” We know that leadership occurs in many spaces and scenarios, so we have broadened the definition of a Leadership Experience.
Moving forward, the two required steps to fulfill the Leadership Experience are:
The UHL Leadership experience is an opportunity for students to explore the concept of leadership, identify the leadership qualities that they already possess and the ones that they want to build, and critically reflect on who they are as a leader.
Students were emailed on Monday 8/26 with details about the changes; students who had already started the previous Leadership Experience process will not lose progress and will receive additional information explaining their options moving forward.
