LEADERSHIP CERTIFICATE PROGRAM (LCP)
Purpose of the LCP
The Leadership Certificate Program (LCP) is focused on transforming a select group of students in the areas of understanding self and others/leading self and others to become effective team leaders and followers. Dyson majors are eligible to apply with only 20 candidates being accepted into this intensive, two-year program in the spring of their sophomore year. As an LCP Team member, students engage in Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner’s Student Leadership Challenge® focusing on the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership. Additionally they are provided opportunities to enhance leadership skills through building Emotional Intelligence, assessments in Myers Briggs and StrengthsQuest, and utilizing Clint Sidle’s Leadership Wheel, diversity and inclusion training, ethics and communication. Accepted candidates participate in a number of unique leadership skill development training events, are continually evaluated in a performance review, and receive a grade for the credits earned. Each year, the LCP admits 50%+ women and between 20 to 50% are underrepresented minorities students.
