Student Involvement

Program Benefits
Components of the program include: Foundations of Leadership, Leadership Practice, and Synthesizing Leadership Learning. These components are outlined below.

Candidates begin the program in Winter Quarter with the introductory 2-unit course "Introduction to Public Service Leadership." Through this five-quarter experience, candidates build a strong community of peer-leaders who will learn with and from each other. Each candidate is actively involved in public service leadership through a position or project on or off campus and brings a unique set of experiences and perspectives to the group. After the initial course, much of the work is independent and can be done at a student's own pace until the program completion the following spring.

Program Commitments
All participating candidates will be assigned to a Haas Center advisor and be expected to meet with him or her at least once each quarter. The purpose of the advising sessions is to provide candidates a chance to revisit and revise learning plans, provide program assessments, synthesize learning from various components of the program, and discuss future goals and opportunities.
