Student Leadership and Engagement
As a student leader, you’ll grow into a community leader and global citizen. Take advantage of meaningful opportunities for leadership development, social interaction, community building, and educational growth.
Leadership Programs
The Global Citizen Scholars Program invites you and other students from broad and diverse backgrounds to investigate a topic through the lens of a relevant global theme and/or world region. Over the course of the program you will have the opportunity to combine your coursework with high-impact experiences and advising.
The Allegheny Bonner Program merges leadership, education, and service, allowing you to be an active leader and change-maker in your local community. Allegheny is one of only three schools selected to offer both the Bonner Scholar and Bonner Leader Program.
