Leadership Enhancement Program
What is it?
The B-CU Leadership Enhancement Program provides leadership development opportunities for program scholars to gain career enhancing skills and leadership experience in today’s changing educational environment. This program is in collaboration with UCF and Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. The office of Diversity at the University of Central Florida established the Leadership Enhancement Program to foster leadership among women and other minority employees.
Who is eligible?
Employees who have worked at B-CU in a full-time staff or faculty position for at least two years are eligible to apply for the Leadership Enhancement Program.
What are the benefits?
Monthly Seminars – A common core of seminars is designed around specific themes relevant to higher education administration in general and B-CU administration in particular. Combined with focused learning experiences, these seminars serve as the foundation upon which LEP scholars tailor the program to meet their individual needs and career goals.
Mentors – Participants will be assisted in selecting at least one mentor to work with them to further develop their professional knowledge, skills, and abilities as a means of reaching their career goals.
Leadership Institute – The annual leadership institute, offered during the spring semester of each year, features a variety of leadership workshop sessions. It also allows members of the current class to present elements of their LEP project.
Graduation Reception – A graduation reception is held during the spring semester to celebrate the successful completion of the program. At this time, each graduate receives a certificate of completion. The University provides funds for each person for the Orientation and up to $50.00 per person for seminar–related materials.
