Engage. Lead. Succeed.

as in attitude and in actions.

What is the Emerging Leaders Program (ELP)?
The Emerging Leaders Program is a selective year-long first-year leadership program that will culminate with the development of a campus-wide event to take place during the Spring Semester. ELP
strives to provide key leadership resources to incoming
Barnard students. Barnard is a community that values
leadership, and through this program, we hope to provide incoming students the
necessary tools to become more effective leaders.
Who should apply?
Do you want to be at the forefront of leadership on Barnard's campus? Are you interested in learning about leadership concepts, acquiring new skills, and participating in leadership-themed excursions around New York City? If so, the Emerging Leaders Program is for you!
ELP is designed to introduce incoming first-years to both practical and theoretical elements of leadership--from how to plan an event on campus to the leadership styles of prominent figures in history. Participants in the program will come from a variety of backgrounds
and carrying with them a range of leadership experiences. But no previous leadership
experience is necessary - everyone has leadership potential and we encourage all prospective leaders to apply.
