| LEADERSHIP |
One of the most important attributes that a student can have
when applying to graduate school or for a job is leadership.
Graduate schools and companies both seek individuals who
possess the ability to influence others, make appropriate
decisions, and accept personal accountability over their
actions. The ability to delegate tasks and to direct people
will set you apart as a candidate. As a student here at UCI
you should take advantage of some of the programs the
university has to offer. The following list includes just a
few of our campus’ opportunities for leadership development:
LEADERSHIP WEBSITES
SSARC Leadership Development
Program
Students learn of and examine the many leadership theories
that affect organizations today. Explore the many variables,
conditions, styles, and levels of analysis of practical
leadership in today's workplace and build an informed view
of leadership development.
UC Irvine National Society of Leadership and Success
Students learn of and examine the many leadership theories
that affect organizations today. Explore the many variables,
conditions, styles, and levels of analysis of practical
leadership in today's workplace and build an informed view
of leadership development.
Dean of
Students Leadership Programs
These programs offers a variety of seminars, conferences and
workshops to help students become leaders in their future
endeavors. Speakers talk on topics such as Diversity and
Leadership and Assessing your leadership style. The programs
run throughout the year and a certificate is awarded upon
completion.
Middle Earth Leadership Opportunities
Middle Earth allows a high level of student involvement with
things such as programming student events or Residential
Advisor positions. Students get to partake in student
affairs and are offered on campus housing (sometimes
required) with their positions.
Mesa Court Leadership Opportunities
Mesa court too allows student on-campus opportunities to get
involved in first-year and transfer students' experience.
Here you are also seen as a leader.
Associated
Students at the University of California Irvine (ASUCI)
Get involved with student government by attending meetings
or even running for office. Having a say in student affairs
not only benefits you as you can make a difference but you
learn leadership along the way.
The Center for Leadership Development
This graduate school of management program allows students
to attend lectures on how to become an effective leader.
While offered for graduate students there are still lectures
regarding leadership that you can attend.
Clubs and
Organizations
One way to get involved is to find a club that shares your
interests and become a leader within that group. There are
many different options to pick from, and if you can't find
exactly what you're looking for, you could always just start
your own club!
The Dean of Students All Leadership Conference
This is a weekend program designed to expose students to
important skills in becoming a leader.
 OFF-CAMPUS OPPORTUNITIES
The UCDC Summer
Internship Program
This program helps successful candidates find an internship
in our nation's capitol. Students get to work in another
part of the country while experiencing the democratic
processes at work. Leadership skills are learned through
practical work experience and being able to adapt to a new
environment.
The UCI
Sacramento Internship Program
The Sacramento Internship Program at the University of
California, Irvine is a program that gives outstanding UCI
students an opportunity to intern in the California State
Capital. Based upon the huge success of the UCDC Summer
Internship Program, the Sacramento Internship Program (SIP)
was a natural step in the direction of developing an
experiential learning opportunity in the California State
Capital. Sacramento is the center for California's growth
not only politically, but also scientifically and
economically. This program is designed to immerse students
into the workings of state government while showing the
important role that policy makers play in decisions that
will affect all of California. California has the fifth
largest economy in the world, as well as being the largest
and most diverse state. Interns will see why being a member
of the California State legislature is one of the most
highly regarded elected officials in the nation.
