CSUF students encouraged to apply
Leadership skills polished through program
By HanltMoored
Staff Writer
CSUF students may have the oppor¬
tunity to participate in a nationwide pro¬
gram designed to improve leadership skills
and prepare them for major responsi¬
bilities early in their careers; according to
Kris Pirere, CSUFs student programs' ad¬
viser.
Leadership America, a national program
for college students who have completed
their junior year of undergraduate studies,
will be accepting applications for its
summer-long leadership seminar and is
open to all CSUF students, Pierre said.
The program places emphasis on
building an international perspective and
increasing its participants' understanding
of technology. In addition, students will
practice leadership in a group setting,
increase their self-awareness and build
their self-confidence, according to program
literature.
Those who are accepted will spend one
week in North Carolina, one week in the
Rocky Mountains and three weeks in
Dallas, Texas. The seminar also includes a f
four-week internship in business, govern¬
ment, or community service in Wash¬
ington, D.C, said Pierre.
"Any person who is selected will be
given $3,000," Pierre added.
, They (the evaluators) are going to look
for leadership potentials and character.
They are not going to look for anyone
who has a high G.P.A. and has been
president of many organizations," said
Kisti Bira, a program assistant for
Leadership America.
Those selected will visit and attend
workshops in NASA, IBM. and AT&T.
Bira said.
Bira said there is no limit to the number
of applications received from one school.
"The selection committee will consist
of business people across the nation," she
said. "Thirty- people in Dallas, Wash¬
ington and Atlanta (a total of 90 people)
will review each application."
Pierre said she is hopeful CSUF students
will be selected for the program. "It is a
highly competitive program, and if we
get one person, it will be great."
. The university can benefit from this
program if a student is selected, Pierre
said.
"For CSUF to have one person in this
program will be a prestigious thing for
the university. The university benefits
from having the student come back to the
university" because the student can share
what he or she learned, Pierre said.
To ;rply for the program, the student
must be completing his or her junior year
this semester and will be returning to the
university the following semester, accord¬
ing to program literature.
The applicant is required to submit three
letters of recommendation, one from a
student, a faculty member, and an employ¬
er or a co-worker, said Pierre.
Pierre said getting into the program will
not be as easy as it sounds. It is a very
selective program. The application form
itself is not an easy one to fill. They (the
evaluators) are asking for essays from die
applicants on what they want to be, what
do they think of leadership."
Pierre said the program will not charge
the university. According to the literature,
Leadership America is funded by indivi¬
duals, corporations and foundations across
the country.
Re-entry students and counselors tell their stories as The Daily Collegian
begins a four-part series Monday.
