College is about developing skills that will help you succeed in your career and in life. Not only do you have the
opportunity to learn more about your passions and interests, but you are able to broaden your mind and perspectives
through your relationships with peers and colleagues. Developing strong leadership and interpersonal skills is
integral to your success both in college and in the future. There are a number of leadership development opportunities
for all students at Appalachian State University.
The Community-Engaged Leadership Office provides you with
programs and opportunities to explore leadership, both inside and outside the classroom. Programs include: Emerging
Leaders, Leadership 101, Trailhead Academy, and much more! Check out the Leadership Development website for exciting
opportunities to develop your leadership skills.
Leadership Education
Scholars and researchers have been trying to understand the phenomena of “leadership” for centuries.
Leadership is a growing field of study at colleges and universities throughout the world. Consider taking one course
or receiving the six-course Minor in Leadership Studies.
