Leadership Skills

student leadership

It’s a firmly held belief at WPI that there’s no one way to broaden or reinforce leadership skills. That’s why we offer diverse and innovative leadership programs to help you make the most of your leadership education.

Open to all WPI students—from aspiring to experienced student leaders—our range of leadership development programs give you the tools you need to succeed. Have lunch with an industry leader. Hone your leadership skills and make a difference in the world. Step outside the box and challenge yourself.

Leadership Lecture Series

The Leadership Lecture Series features a variety of speakers to expose WPI students—both undergraduates and graduates—to a wide range of topics associated with leadership, diversity, social justice, and wellness. Previous lecture topics have included “Love Your Body Campaign” and “End of Racism.”  

Leadership Luncheon Series

This lecture series provides WPI students—both undergraduates and graduates—with the opportunity to learn from and network with individuals who put leadership theories into practice every day. The luncheon is offered about once per term, and previous lecture topics have included “Creative Leadership” and “Building a Great Year.” 

Leading Edge Series

The Leading Edge Series is a three part, comprehensive leadership program designed to provide WPI students with an opportunity to not only explore their leadership potential, but also gain practical skills and valuable knowledge that will impact their daily lives. The Emerging Leader offered in B term and The Advanced Leader in D term, are separate seven week opportunities that explore different areas of leadership from both a personal and group framework. Those who complete six of the seven workshops in each series received a leadership certificate. The third tier, The Legacy Leader, is an opportunity for the development of leadership skills and facilitation all year long through various opportunities and programs.

The Leaders Program provided me the opportunity to apply newly learned and developed leadership skills in a hands-on environment.
