Sign-up! The Emerging Leadership Series Certificate program is a FREE way for students to build leadership skills, practice teamwork and communication skills, and connect with other student leaders through an inclusive lens. The Emerging Leaders Series is open to all students (no experience required), and provides an engaging way for students to expand their perspective on leadership. Past Emerging Leaders Series have gone on to become RAs, WOW and SLO Days Leaders, Leaders in Greek Life, Inter-Housing Council members, and get involved with clubs and different student organizations.
Students in Cal Poly’s Honors Program get leadership credit for participating in the series.
Students can also earn ELS through participating in the Center for Service in Action's Domestic Alternative Break Trips during winter and spring break!
“I didn’t know what to expect from this series, but walked out of every single meeting feeling inspired, confident, and with a desire to go out and change something. I really enjoyed the thought provoking conversations and have encouraged several friends to look into this program. I think it has helped me understand myself better, as well as how others work.”

“I really enjoyed being a part of this program. It helped me feel more connected to Cal Poly, it helped me feel more empowered and I was able to create new friends and acquaintances. It was great hanging out with other leaders once a week.”
