Presidential Leadership Fellows

The purpose of the Presidential Leadership Fellows program is to develop a cohort of students who can cultivate their personal leadership and continue to deepen their engagement with WSU through regular meetings and opportunities to share their experience with key stakeholders (e.g., National Advisory Council, university trustees, alumni, Utah legislators, city government leaders and community members at large).

The application for the 2026-2027 Presidential Leadership Fellows cohort opens March 2. Check back later.
