Juniata College

Requirements

Throughout your tenure in Leadership JC, we ask for students to complete the following components to enhance and support your leadership development. Full guidelines for the below requirements can be found here.

This program is facilitated through the Office of Student Engagement and Campus Activities. You are encouraged to reach out to SECA with any questions you may have. We are open to conversation around these requirements and willing to personalize this experience for each student.

Leadership JC Submission Process:

Students must submit their completed electronic Leadership Program Checklist with supporting appendices to the Office of Student Engagement and Campus Activities by April 15 for verification of completion. The Office of Student Engagement and Campus Activities will affirm completion of the program by May 1.

To complete the program, students must:

The reflection should detail how you achieved each of the five competency areas of a Juniata leader outlined in the full guidelines. Experiences highlighting these outcomes may be formal and informal, academic and co-curricular, positional and experiential in nature.

The reflection does not have a required page length but should sufficiently provide evidence and personal reflection on each competency area.

Complete 120 hours of community service or advocacy experience

As codified in Juniata’s strategic plan, the college strives to help students develop skills, knowledge, and values that lead to a fulfilling life of ethical leadership in a global community. Through the leadership program, we ask students to consider what ethical, engaged citizenship means to them through a service and advocacy lens.

The 120 hours may be completed over the course of a student’s academic career. Students must complete at least three separate experiences in achieving 120 hours.

Students are required to meet with a leadership mentor three times during the course of their academic career.

Students are strongly encouraged to establish a mentor by the end of the sophomore year and to meet annually with their identified mentor. Mentors must be Juniata community members who complete a short training with SECA to understand the Leadership JC program. Students may not select a mentor who serves in a supervisory or coaching capacity to the student.
