The Leadership Initiative
Huntingdon’s Leadership Initiative is not just any leadership program. It’s a fun, hands-on leadership experience geared to helping Huntingdon College students reach their full potential during their college years and beyond, both inside and outside the classroom. Whether by seminars on numerous leadership topics, debates on current events, community service projects, off-campus overnight retreats, or student organization officer training, the Leadership Initiative strives to ensure that every participant learns to lead with integrity during their time at Huntingdon College. Participating in the Leadership Initiative will ensure students develop skills in areas like time management, team dynamics, communication, conflict management, and goal-setting.
The Leadership Initiative is an invitational leadership program. We are looking for students who desire to truly become better student leaders. Students are invited to participate based on expressing interest in the program and by nomination from Huntingdon College faculty, staff, and administrators. Invitation letters are sent out mid-September. After accepting an invitation to participate in the Leadership Initiative, students attend various leadership activities on a course to complete the program’s entirety as a graduate of the Leadership Initiative and Huntingdon College. Though participating in the program itself is by invitation, all Leadership Initiative sponsored events are open to any and all Huntingdon College students.
Mission Statement
The Leadership Initiative program’s mission holds a commitment to developing the leadership capabilities of Huntingdon College students. This includes emphasis on building character and integrity, enhancing personal leadership style, and promoting dedication to service to help students achieve their fullest leadership potential during their time at Huntingdon and in future endeavors.
