The Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) is a series of hands-on, interactive workshops open to students who want to broaden and develop their leadership and group-communication skills. The workshops usually occur during spring semester and cover the following topics, among others:

• leadership theory
• self knowledge (finding your leadership style)
• group dynamics/team building/group communication
• ethical decision making
• time management, goal setting, building consensus
• respect for others
• available campus resources

Professionals and student volunteers lead workshops, which are scheduled over a three-week period, with one session per week.

Benefits
As a participant in ELP, you will learn more about yourself and your preferred leadership style (everyone has one) and how to apply your new leadership skills in everyday activities. ELP graduates use such experiences to strengthen their résumés, increase campus involvement, and lead more effectively on and off campus.

To participate in the program, a student must be nominated by a member of the Saint Anselm faculty or staff or another student leader. Nomination forms are available in the Office of Student Activities and Leadership Programs. Emerging Leaders Program representatives will contact nominated students and invite them to apply.
