Leadership Development

One of the best ways students can develop their own leadership skills is through club involvement. Both on the participant and executive board levels, our students are able to develop skills in the areas of group dynamics, communication, trust, follow-through, time management, negotiating, and much more! Students are also able to use their experiences to develop and grow their own personal leadership styles.

Student Involvement and Connections is committed to enhancing student development outside of the classroom. A great way to develop your leadership is through on-campus employment. Campus Center employees, for example, participate in training and professional development throughout the year to enhance their transferable leadership skills. For on-campus student employment, students are encouraged to contact the Kevin S. and Sandra E. Delbridge Career Center with any questions.

The Class Council Program at Western New England University is a four-year leadership development experience for undergraduate students. Each class year has its own Class Council consisting of up to 25 students from diverse backgrounds and affiliations. Class Council members work together to plan programs, participate in civic engagement opportunities, develop as leaders, serve as undergraduate representatives, and build unity within their respective class years.

Applications for the First-Year Class Council become available during the summer. All other Class Council applications become available in March for the following academic year.
