What is DU Lead?
DU Lead is a three-day intensive off-campus institute for emerging leaders in the Denison community which aims to address and develop a variety of leadership skills. DU Lead focuses on leading with integrity and discovering how to make your mark within the Denison community to create and sustain positive change. Participants will work closely with 8-12 peers in "clubs," engaging in fun, interactive activities and simulations in a lively, upbeat environment. Sophomores, junior and senior students serve as peer mentors, or Club Advisors.

DU Lead is an opportunity for students to become involved on campus; explore their values, identity, and leadership style; and connect with new friends and peers at Denison. This program also allows students to connect with returning students who can serve as mentors that have established themselves as campus leaders. They can offer valuable insights and key takeaways that serve a great purpose!

Cost: DU Lead is FREE OF CHARGE to participants.
