The mission of the Honors College Leadership Center (HCLC) is to accelerate its students' leadership odyssey as they pursue purposeful lives marked by good-citizenship, self-awareness, critical inquiry, personal reflection and intellectual curiosity. The Center serves as a forum for both discussion and exploration of significant leadership issues contemporary and classic. Its courses, lectures, seminars, internships, fellowships and research projects emphasize the relationship between self and group and between theory and practice, providing students with the intellectual and practical tools necessary to lead in an active way regardless of the path they choose.
