Additional Opportunities Offered Through PLP

The President’s Leadership Program is a member of the Colorado Leadership Alliance (CLA). CLA supports the development of the next generation of Colorado’s leaders at the collegiate level through collaboration between academic programs and the public, private and nonprofit sectors. The Colorado Leadership Alliance is the only alliance of its kind in the United States.

At public and private institutions across Colorado, CLA leadership programs are preparing top students to become capable leaders of Colorado’s future through academic coursework, internship, externship and service learning experiences. As an umbrella organization, CLA supports the development of each program by providing a forum to communicate best practices, create shared outcomes, foster collaboration among students through Alliance-wide initiatives and engage in joint-fundraising efforts.

The Colorado Leadership Alliance is partnered with the Denver Metro Chamber Leadership Foundation’s esteemed leadership programs to promote civic leadership.

The research course offered within The President’s Leadership Program works in conjunction with the Leadership Studies Minor. 

Aims to connect students to as many opportunities outside of class as possible and encourage students to apply their learning outside of the classroom. Some of these events include:

  • PLP book club
    • Read inspiring books and enjoy free dinner and discussion throughout the semester!
  • Attend On-Campus Events
    • Attend and discuss events such as the Diversity Symposium,
      Campus speakers, and more.
  • Volunteer Opportunities
    • PLP participates in various volunteer opportunities throughout the year, including CSUnity, C.A.N.S. Around the Oval, and more!
  • Other Events
    • Anything from a finals study break, to attend an art show, PLP is always looking for more ways to get involved in the community and spend some time together!

Our Global Leadership Experiences are focused on enhancing Cultural Intelligence (CQ) and Community Engagement through practices of academic learning, dialogue, and service learning. Our recent trips have been a 14-day trip to East Africa visiting both Uganda and Rwanda, and trips to Todos Santos.

Our next upcoming trip is scheduled for November of 2023 back to Todos Santos, Mexico where we will be hosted by the Todos Santos Center, CSU’s remote campus in Baja Sur. All PLP students are invited to come join us. 

Look out for updates on future Global Leadership Experiences. We can’t wait to travel the world and learn with you!

PLP Student Stories

"Uganda and Rwanda showed me what it is like to participate in a ‘being’ culture. I have grown accustomed to a fast-paced life that sitting still felt uncomfortable at first. It was then that I realized how I have placed my identity in my responsibilities rather than my interests, passions, and beliefs. Seeing this inspired me to detach from responsibility and give myself time and space to rediscover who I am. I have never felt such relief like I felt in Uganda and Rwanda. I became very connected to myself because for once I was letting my mind and body tell me what I needed."
