Legacy Leadership
A faculty-led mentorship program designed to encourage growth in graduate and doctoral students.
Program Highlights
- Takes place during fall and spring semesters
- Mentorships available for graduate and doctoral students
Legacy Leadership provides opportunities for our graduate and doctoral students to build mentoring relationships with faculty that extend beyond the academic setting. For Legacy Leadership, the aim is not to provide content like a classroom setting but for professors to be transparent about their own lives and how they daily live-in worship. The desire is that this program will allow students to look into the hearts of their professors and be transformed to become more like Christ in their day-to-day living.
Students who desire to be a part of Legacy Leadership will be paired with a faculty member to meet in individual or group settings. There will be at least two meetings throughout each semester – coffee is on us!
