Silver
Once you complete the Bronze Challenge, students are encouraged to move on to the Silver Challenge! Silver is where you have the opportunity to practice your leadership philosophy and reflect on your understanding of leadership as it relates to action–what are you doing with the leadership skills you’ve developed? In the Silver Challenge, students receive one-on-one support from a Leadership Development Coach who champions student development as students learn to recognize their potential as leaders and their responsibility to make positive social change in their communities.
Please fill out the interest form here so that we can verify you completed Bronze. KEEP IN MIND: Students starting in the Fall will be contacted in August; students starting in the Spring will be contacted in January.
