“As a leader, you need to have the character qualities that leave people feeling confident that things are going to be accomplished effectively and in a proper and principled way. Learning to strengthen these and other aspects of leadership takes place in the classroom, and through student life activities, internships, volunteer opportunities, service learning , —and Emerging Leaders. The insights gained through the Emerging Leaders experience will be invaluable for a lifetime.” Mark A. Nordenberg, Chancellor ~ “We are committed to educating the whole student. I am determined that every Pitt graduate, regardless of degree earned, should leave the University with four key attributes: communication skills, a sense of motivation, a sense of responsibility , and a sense of self. The Emerging Leaders Program will complement students’ classroom experiences, providing students with the opportunity to develop these four key attributes while they acquire important leadership skills through direct experience and guided reflection on that experience.” James V. Maher, Provost ~ “This program brought out qualities many people may not have realized they had. It helped me gain a better understanding of myself.” ~ “The program puts more emphasis on learning from experiences than from talk. It’s much easier to learn and grow through experience.” ~ “I feel a stronger sense of self and I have more confidence and awareness.” ~ “The information presented is very useful. Anyone aspiring to be a leader of any sort should take this class.” ~ “It was fun and a great learning experience that I will always remember.” ~ “The experiences have changed my thinking about myself and how I deal with a variety of situations.” ~ “It was a pleasure to be a part of this program. You have done a wonderful service by giving students a sense of themselves and their worth. Thank you so much and best wishes for the next generation of Emerging Leaders!”
