      Educating

Queens University of Charlotte’s Leadership Program includes Emerging Leaders, Leadership Team, Leadership Course and a Leadership Concentration. Each of these programs further develops students as leaders so they can provide leadership to clubs and organizations on campus. The skills learned will assist the graduates in becoming leaders in their community.

EXCEL is the newest program designed as a focused leadership experience for daring individuals who choose to challenge their perspective on a specific issue. Leading Honorably is this year’s topic. Each activity and experience throughout EXCEL will relate to this topic. EXCEL members need 100 points to graduate with a certificate from the program. Each experience is worth a specific amount of points.

II.                 Creating Challenges – 5 activities – 10 points each

Students receive 10 points toward the EXCEL program by experiencing an activity that relates to the semester’s topic.
