Project L«E«A«D (Leadership, Enrichment, Advancement, and Development) is designed to develop leadership skills within all aspects of the IU South Bend student population, not just those involved in
clubs and organizations. Students are exposed to a variety of different viewpoints due in part to the cooperation and assistance between representatives
from the Offices of Admissions
and
Student Scholarships, the
Academic
Learning Center, Alumni Association, and Peer Mentors.

|
● |

A significant focus of the program is the concept of “Servant Leadership” by which a leader is expected to give back to the greater community. As such, student leaders are expected to participate in ways of giving back to
IU South Bend, as well as the greater Michiana area. Project L«E«A«D participants
are expected to serve as tour guides at specific
Office of Admissions recruitment events and
New Student Orientations, serve as hosts
to IU South Bend special events, as well as one large-scale community service project within the Michiana
area.
"The growth and development of people is the highest calling of leadership."
