LeaderShape

The Office of Student Activities host sessions of Catalyst, a LeaderShape program that challenges participants to lead with integrity while working toward a vision grounded in their deepest values.

Vision

A just, caring, and thriving world where all lead with integrity™ and a healthy disregard for the impossible.

Mission

To transform the world by increasing the number of people who lead with integrity™ and a healthy disregard for the impossible.

Catalyst

Participants explore not only what they want to do, but also who they want to be. During the session, participants will have an opportunity to meet and work with students from diverse backgrounds, as well as create a personal vision—an individual commitment to creating a positive change in the world. Catalyst is designed to provide an environment that encourages personal leadership development. Due to our wonderful support and sponsorship of the Student Government Association and the College Association, attending the program is at no cost to participants.
