The Huskie Leadership Academy is geared towards first year students learning valuable leadership skills. The Huskie Leadership Academy will introduce you to different leadership topics that you can take and apply to different roles in your life such as getting involved, giving back to the community, or wanting to see change here at NIU. Topics include:
- Getting to know your leadership style
- Working with diverse groups of people
- Giving back to the community
Completing this series will earn you a graduation cord, a badge that can be added to your LinkedIn profile and recognition at our Presidents Student Service and Leadership Awards ceremony in April.
