Leadership Honors Program
In the Leadership Honors Program at Roberts Wesleyan University, students are transformed into the dynamic leaders God made them to be.
Students will develop the critical thinking and leadership skills needed for their chosen fields. Mentorships with Rochester community professionals and Roberts’ faculty members will offer students insights into their future careers. In the second year of the program, students will select a research project, mentoring experience, or experiential learning track. Students will then demonstrate their new abilities through a community presentation.
PLEASE NOTE: WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING NEW LEADERSHIP HONORS STUDENTS FOR THE 2024-2025 ACADEMIC YEAR.
