The Emerging Leaders program is built specifically for first year Chargers to explore leadership through a lens that is likely quite different from a traditional view of leadership. The goal of the program is to support first year students in the college transition by learning about leadership through self-reflection, campus involvement, and community service. Emerging Leaders are sorted into small groups where the majority of their development and community building takes place; these small groups are led by students who have already graduated from the program. Participants in the program will meet weekly throughout the year to cover curriculum that focuses on core components of authentic and servant leadership theories. If you are interested in joining the Emerging Leaders program, please contact us at: leadership@uah.edu Not only did I learn about the importance of serving and caring about others, I learned how to take care of myself as well. Self-care is a huge aspect of Emerging Leaders, and it taught me the importance of prioritizing my well-being and inspiring others to do the same.- Iman Hankins, EL Class of 2021 Emerging Leaders was the first college organization I was involved with. I was able to enhance my leadership and communication skills that helped me develop strong and meaningful relationships. The program was so much fun and I definitely learned a lot!- Natalia Castillo Casados, EL Class of 2020 Emerging Leaders has opened my mind to a new lens of the world and UAH. I have learned how much vulnerability and authenticity tie into being a good leader. Through the program, I was able to create meaningful relationships with various leaders in the Huntsville area. I would not be the leader that I am now, who leads with passion, if I had not been a part of Emerging Leaders!- Madeline Brooks, Leadership Fellows Class of 2020 Being involved in the Emerging Leaders program has helped me to improve my confidence in my leadership abilities and my abilities to communicate and work with others. It has also helped me find my community on campus.- Coleman Poole, EL Class of 2020
