Welcome to the Presidents Leadership Class!
PLC is an interdisciplinary, 4-year leadership program that offers an immersive approach to leadership development. Rigorous programming, both academic and experiential, are pursued by a diverse, driven community of undergraduates.
PLC students practice and develop their leadership ability. They find growth and resilience through rigorous programming, and build a lifelong network of peers and mentors from their like-driven community.
PLC students thrive when given a healthy challenge, acknowledge and welcome growth in discomfort, discover and display confidence without arrogance, experience actualization, and perpetually seek inspiration.
