CAN I CHOOSE MY OWN LEADERSHIP COACH?

YES!If you have a relationship with a professional on campus whom you would like to serve as your leadership coach, you may ask them. The criteria is that they agree to meet with you at least twice, and use the materials provided by REAL to connect your learning to your involvement. You may ask the REAL Coordinator more about this option.

DOES IT COST ANYTHING TO ATTEND?

NO!This program is a student fee funded program, with very minimal costs due to the generosity and time of many faculty and staff across our campus.
