Leadership Experience

Leadership experiences give you the skills necessary to have impact as a UMD campus member and as a citizen in a larger global community. Employers want students to have more than just classroom knowledge. They want leaders who can relate well with others and who know how to apply their knowledge to real-world situations.

Service locations may include community service agencies, non-profit organizations, educational institutions or health care settings.
