The Peak Leadership program is an opportunity for students to develop professional skills and practical leadership experience. You will learn leadership skills from CEOs, VPs, and professionals, and hear about their experiences. Find your strengths in leadership to stand out in the professional world!
Speaker Sessions
These sessions help you develop your own leadership style. Watch and learn from professionals and experts on three leadership pillars: self, teams, and communication.
Self-Reflection
Self-reflection leads to personal growth and transformation. Peak Leaders are asked to reflect on their learnings, which builds their leadership and self-management skills. Self-reflection also equips Peak Leaders with the tools they need to discuss the value of their learnings with employers.
StrengthsQuest Online Assessment
Self-assessment and reflection allow you to learn more about yourself. Peak Leaders will complete the StrengthsQuest assessment, allowing them to discover their natural strengths and talents and understand how to develop these areas in meaningful ways.
Teamwork Challenge
Working in teams, Peak Leaders will participate in one of two challenges. Both challenges are engaging experiences that provide an opportunity to use your creativity, resourcefulness, and leadership skills while working as part of a team.
