Leadership is Action not Position
There are thousands of opportunities at the University of Dayton for students to engage in activities that develop the practical leadership skills necessary to be successful leaders at UD, in the community and in their future personal and professional lives. Some opportunities are included with membership in student clubs and organizations or with employment training programs. Others are embedded in classroom projects and the informal challenges of living in community. All University of Dayton students are encouraged to experience leadership learning by participating in a variety of formal and informal leadership experiences.
Feel the Love
Many UD students are involved on campus and making contributions to the community. The Leadership Celebration awards provide an opportunity to recognize student individual and group contributions and the staff or faculty advisors for their outstanding work and engagement.
