Emerging Leaders
You're already in it!
The co-curricular Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) is designed to educate, engage and empower all Detroit Mercy students. Using the “Social Change Model (jpg),” (Long Description of Social Change Model) the ELP offers students the opportunity to explore their leadership potential and abilities through involvement in programs, events and activities that include learning, leadership, spirituality and service, on and off campus.
All Detroit Mercy students have the chance to experience and live the University Mission. As a student who lives Detroit Mercy's Mission, you will learn to exhibit leadership for the common good. Those students who choose to intentionally develop their leadership capacity will be recognized for their achievements by earning a Leadership Pin or a Leadership Medallion.
Students often exhibit leadership on campus in both formal and informal ways. You are likely already doing a number of things that fall within the categories of the above criteria for leadership development within Detroit Mercy's Conceptual Model for Social Change. This means that you are also meeting the criteria for the Emerging Leaders Program!
The Institute for Leadership & Service will give you recognition for the work you are doing, while encouraging you to excel and experience further leadership development opportunities to become leaders who serve the community. Recognition will be in the form of the Leadership Pin or the Leadership Medallion.
