LeadUF is a signature leadership experience designed for new, transfer, and second-year students to continue their leadership development journey and connect with other students. Taking place before classes begin, this pre-arrival program will help students learn, reflect and develop their personal leadership framework through interactive activities and skill development.
LeadUF centers on the belief that leadership is a life-long journey developed by experiences and engagement in the community and world.
August 18-21, 2023
Applications are open for the August program and close June 30th. All students will have the opportunity to connect and continue your leadership conversation with the BCLS throughout the fall semester regardless of attendance at LeadUF.
" I went to LeadUF with no expectations in mind and it ended up being one of the most truthful experiences I've had at UF. Everyone there was genuine with their intentions and just wanted to grow together. I learned so much about myself and my peers, I feel very grateful for taking a chance on this great opportunity."
There are two ways to experience the LeadUF journey. As a participant or a peer leader.
LeadUF is designed to provide participants with skills to make positive change and become a leader at the University of Florida. The LeadUF program will incorporate large group activities, small group discussions, reflection, mentorship, and time to connect with other leaders.
