Are you ready to take your leadership skills to the next level? Indiana University has seminars, retreats, and courses, that prepare you for leadership roles in any type of setting.
Leadership programs that are tailored to your strengths and goals
Hoosier Leadership Program
The Hoosier Leadership Program recognizes that leadership isn’t a position, but a process: exploring values, honing leadership skills, and becoming an inclusive leader are the secrets to success in your career and in life.
Two high-impact leadership experiences offer you experiential learning that parallels your academic coursework.
The Institute, in partnership with LeaderShape® is a four-day immersive leadership retreat held at a camp located off campus. You won’t learn how to run better meetings—you’ll learn to change the world, whatever that might mean to you.
This year's Institute will take place May 14-17 at Bradford Woods.
