Student Leadership Academy
The Dalhousie Student Leadership Academy is a new initiative that's free and open to any student interested in becoming a better leader and creating purposeful change through activism, advocacy, innovation, or community building.
Dalhousie’s Leadership Academy is designed to help students on their leadership journey, whether they are exploring their leadership goals or are already a demonstrated student leader. Through workshops, hands on learning, and mentorship opportunities, students can learn how to create change in their communities.
There are three connected programs within the Academy, each aligned with social impact and purpose-driven leadership models, and tailored to unique strengths, interests, and goals.
Foundations of Leadership
The Foundations of Leadership program offers a series of dynamic and engaging workshops designed to help develop leadership skills, connect with peers, and explore how to use leadership skills in the community. Foundations of Leadership is open to any student interested in pursuing leadership opportunities and developing their leadership skills and knowledge. No prior experience or knowledge is required.
Foundations of Leadership is comprised of workshops (see below), the DalLeads conference, and keynote speakers. To complete this program, students must attend a minimum of 5 workshops hosted through the semester.
