“To improve society by inspiring, developing, and supporting more

 What is the UGA
LeaderShape® Institute? The University of Georgia LeaderShape® Institute will
be held on May 11-16, 2009 and is an
extensive, six-day leadership development experience introducing
student participants to various aspects and issues relating to
personal and group leadership, leading with integrity, and creating
personal goals for the future. This is accomplished through a
“leadership curriculum” that involves a combination of working in
large groups, participating in smaller group discussions, individual
reflection, and most of all, interactive activities/experiences.
The LeaderShape® Institute will include a diverse group of students from all over
campus representing numerous student groups, organizations, and
interests.
 What’s in it for
me? If chosen, you will receivevaluable leadership
training and skills that will benefit you during your college career
and beyond. You will also have an opportunity to develop and
implement a personal vision project intended to benefit a student
organization, the campus, or community. Not only is this a great
opportunity for you to have an incredible amount of interaction with
fellow students and leaders, but you will also be involved with
faculty and staff members from the University during the week. In addition, you will have a special opportunity to meet alumni,
community, and business leaders from around the state. The LeaderShape(r) Institute costs nearly $1,000 per participant; however, almost all of this experience, as well as all materials, food, lodging, extras, and transportation to and from the site, is covered. There is a $50 non-refundable deposit to hold your spot at the Institute that will be due to the Center for Leadership & Service if you are selected. Your acceptance letter will indicate instructions on how to pay the fee.
 Do I have to be at
a certain class level or currently hold a leadership position on
campus? No, the UGA LeaderShape® Institute is open to all UGA
students, at all class levels, from any major area of study, and at
any level of involvement, though consideration will be given to
students who are not graduating and will return to campus to complete
their degree. The only requirement is that you are enrolled
full time at the University and are in good academic and social
standing (i.e. not currently under any sanctions or probations).
Also, participants will be expected to develop a “vision
portfolio” or project that can be worked on and implemented in the
future.
