  9. Oct 3 UHL Leadership Workshop 6:00pm

    UHL Leadership Workshop

    Tuesday, October 3rd, 2023

    06:00 PM - 07:00 PM


    McHugh Hall

    UConn Honors students are eligible to start their UHL Leadership Experience at any time! The first step is to attend a Leadership Workshop conducted by the Honors GPS team, which we encourage you do during the academic year in which you intend to begin your project. If you feel you are ready to begin your Honors Leadership Experience, you can RSVP for one of the dates on Nexus under the Events tab.

    The Leadership Experience must be done completely proactively. This means that your Leadership Action Plan must be approved by your GPS coach, and you must meet with your coach before starting any part of your Leadership Experience. Projects that have already been started in any way can not be accepted to count for your Leadership experience.

    **Please note: The Leadership Workshop is the required first step of the UHL Leadership Experience, and therefore does NOT count toward the UHL Events Requirement.
