Youth Leadership South

Leadership Opportunity

Youth Leadership South is a new opportunity for rising high school juniors and seniors offered through the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost, Dr. Andi Kent. The program is designed to help students enhance leadership skills, interact with faculty, staff, and student leaders, and learn more about the opportunities available through higher education.

The group will meet at 8:30 am – 1:30 pm four times during the academic year, and will be invited to participate in additional activities throughout the year. Upon selection more details will be provided about logistics and content of sessions, along with payment information.
