Cultural Leadership students participate in an intensive year of over 420 hours of programming, including cultural activities, public speaking, leadership training, travel, and facilitated discussions on diversity and creating social change. Through these activities, students gain an increased awareness of their own and each other’s history, religion, and culture, and learn valuable skills for facilitating discussions, solving problems, and making change. Cultural Leadership is training the next generation of civil rights activists, or – as we fondly call them – “troublemakers of the best kind!” The program is open to sophomores and juniors.
