The Emerging Leader Program
Curious about what it takes to become a leader at UT Dallas? Looking for opportunities to build your resume? The Emerging Leader Certificate offers students the opportunity to gain basic leadership knowledge, develop leadership skills and character traits, and get involved in the campus and greater DFW community.
Along with building your resume, the sessions will help you discover your inner leader and prepare you for a successful college career at UT Dallas. By completing this program you will gain a certificate of completion and it will be noted on your UT Dallas co-curricular transcript.
Emerging Leader is a great stepping stone for future management roles. While we can’t promise a leadership position after you graduate from the program, we can guarantee that you will be a more able leader when the time comes.
