Leadership Initiative Certificate Program
The Leadership Initiative (LI) is a certificate program designed to develop students’ leadership and professional skills, serve as a foundation for involvement in campus life, and promote retention, academic success, and graduation.
The foundation of the LI is based on the Social Change Model of Leadership Development, which encompasses three sets of values individuals build upon to become social change agents — individual values, group values, and societal/community values.
To join the program, just simply start with the Green Certificate and follow with each found on the right. To have your event featured within the LI or all other questions, please email leadership.initiative@csus.edu
