Collaborator to Leader (C2L)
We believe followers, also known as collaborators, are just as important as any organization leader, and are demonstrating leadership in action regularly through their participation.
Collaborators:
- Demonstrate courage, honesty, and/or credibility
- Manage themselves well
- Are committed to the organization and a purpose, principle or person outside themselves Success of any organization is due to both effective followership and effective leadership.
Program Details
Students can apply anytime they become interested in being a committee member. No interviews are required to become a committee member or to join the program. You will automatically be registered to participate in A Leader’s Legacy program. However, you can opt out of the program at any time, even while continuing to serve on the chosen committee.
If you do choose to participate, you will become part of a cohort of students dedicated to making UofL a better place for others through programming, policy change and simply sharing your own unique perspective.
