Striving to be the next engineering leader?

Applications for our 2020-2021 program will open in the fall. Stay tuned for more information.

Who can apply?

Undergraduate and graduate students at sophomore, junior, and senior levels
Engineering major admissions required
Students with demonstrated engineering leadership

The program helped me with self-reflection as a leader. That ultimately made me a better manager.

Leadership training - ENG 100B and the Saturday workshops have proved incredibly valuable and helpful.

I used what I learned about leadership at the Gordon Center daily in my career. What I learned at the Gordon Center helps me convince more experienced clients to listen to what I have to say, take my suggestions, and follow my lead.
