and Student Success, we are bringing LeaderShape's Catalyst program and facilitators to campus to provide undergraduate students a chance to
strengthen their leadership abilities and enhance their impact on campus and within
the community.Catalyst is a one-day, intensive leadership program focused on learning to develop your own authentic path, connect to groups and causes you care about, and commit to a plan to be a catalyst for yourself and the groups you’re part of. This program is designed to help student leaders at Tech find their unique path to becoming a stronger leader.
Participants will consider powerful questions that move you towards action:
Am I on the right path? Who do I want to be? How can I connect with other like-minded
individuals? In small-group dialogue, large group interaction, and personal reflection,
you’ll learn alongside others who also want to start something extraordinary.
This year's program will be hosted on Saturday, April 23!
