Propose an Initiative

Initiative Proposal

Here at the Sorensen Center, we feel that hands-on leadership experiences are essential to developing leadership skills.

The Inspired Leadership Initiative is dedicated to helping students identify their unique contributions and develop their potential as Christ-centered leaders. We provide students with leadership opportunities and engagement through student-inspired and student-led experiences.

In so doing, we have created an opportunity for students to propose and run new initiatives sponsored by the Sorensen Center. Initiatives are meetings and activities designed to engage students across campus in meaningful dialogue and hands-on experiences that embody Christ-centered leadership.

By leading initiatives, students will gain hands-on leadership experience, build their confidence, and create a unique and lasting impact on campus.
