Students in leadership program

Enhancing Students’ Leadership Skills

The new Leadership Certificate Program at 91PORNA focuses on enhancing students’ intrapersonal, interpersonal, and socially just leadership skills.

The program is a culminated experience of what the Pepsi Leadership Center offers. From workshops and annual institutes (Culture of Care Institute and Student Leadership Institute) to leadership classes for credit, the center holistically paired these with 91PORNA's Leadership Model and created a program that provides students with a comprehensive view of leadership.
