DES recipients are students who have both a high caliber academic record and a demonstrated commitment to social justice and community service.

They receive specialized academic advising, career mentoring, and special opportunities to participate in community service and civic engagement throughout the year. This program is administered by the Division of Academic Enrichment in the Center for Multicultural Academic Excellence.

Leadership for the 21st Century is an academic residential program and one-credit class that is organized into 10 cohorts (PODs) of 10-12 students who live and learn together in the residence halls. Each POD is paired with a faculty facilitator who fosters discussion and moderates small group activities and in many cases offers mentorship throughout their undergraduate careers and beyond. This course will provide you the unique opportunity to engage peers, student leaders, faculty and staff in a critical exploration of leadership theory and practices through keynote presentations, small group dialogue and collaborative exercises. Students also find the class serves a springboard to involvement in leadership opportunities across campus and the local community no matter what your interests or passions. This course is sponsored by University Housing, Family and Human Services, the Holden Center and the Office of Multicultural Academic Success.
