LeaderShape applications due April 1

ECU’s LeaderShape Institute will take place on May 12-15, 2025 at the Eastern 4-H Center in Columbia, NC.

The LeaderShape Institute is a four-day, immersive experience that challenges participants to clarify their values and create their vision for a just, caring, thriving world. Not a typical leadership retreat, The LeaderShape Institute enhances participants’ leadership capacity in service of integrity-driven leadership on their campus, in their community, within their organization, and beyond. Through self-assessment, simulations, intensive small group discussions led by trained facilitators, and more, participants crystalize their leader identity.

You can learn more about the Institute through LeaderShape’s website and LeaderShape’s promotional video. The cost to attend is completely covered by the Center for Leadership & Civic Engagement (CLCE), and participants will commit to staying at the Eastern 4-H Center for all four days of the Institute and attend programming from 9am to 9pm with breaks and meals. While it is an intensive experience, we are confident you will benefit as a person and leader. 

If you have any questions about this experience, please feel free to contact Alex Dennis, Senior Assistant Director in the CLCE at dennisa15@ecu.edu. If you are ready to apply, apply through the LeaderShape application; please submit your application by April 1, 2025.
