Blue and Gold Leadership Series
The Blue and Gold Leadership program provides students with opportunities to acquire and implement leadership skills to enhance professional competence while documenting achievements that can lead to career, service, or leadership advancement. Student Leadership and Engagement (SLE) prepares students to serve in significant campus and community leadership roles by providing leadership training. Leadership development has been identified as one of our strategic initiatives for student development. While the idea of leadership development encompasses a broad range of activities (both current and prospective), a foundational program for this initiative is the Blue and Gold Leadership Series. The leadership series targets students at varying stages of their college career.

Gold Leadership Program
Our Gold Leadership Academy is designed for our junior and senior students who hold a leadership role on campus. The program has recently been upgraded to a semester-long intensive both in-person and online. We will only have one cohort per semester for 15-20 students. In order to be eligible for the program, students will have to fill out an application and attend an interview. We require a minimum 2.5 GPA and for applicants to be in good standing with the institution.
During our time together you can expect to meet bi-weekly in person, and complete short modules on canvas on the weeks we are not together in person. The curriculum will focus on emotional intelligence, leading your peers, a deeper understanding of personal values, and more!
As a part of the program, you will receive a mentor to connect with on campus.
Depending on cohort availability, we will be meeting bi-weekly on Fridays.
Participants will be celebrated and acknowledged at the end-of-year Hofstra Student Leadership Awards Ceremony.
The Gold Leadership Application is open now until September 2nd.
