Applications are open through Thursday, Oct.1. Students must upload their resume and reply to the short answer questions to be considered for acceptance. C-LEAD accepts 20 sophomores in each cohort.
Acceptance into C-LEAD guarantees students seats in courses designed to enhance students’ leadership capabilities.
