Leadership Exchange Now Accepting Applications

LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 2, 2016) — The Leadership Exchange is now accepting applications from any and all students interested in leadership development!

The Leadership Exchange is an organization comprised of student leaders committed to the development of leadership on the University of Kentucky campus. The main focus of the Leadership Exchange is to offer opportunities for authentic, intentional development through campus-wide programming made available to all students interested in leadership.

The Leadership Exchange focuses on individual leadership development through creation of a personal leadership portfolio; assists with planning, promotion and facilitation of leadership events for students; and promotes involvement on campus through meeting with students one-on-one. It also helps student organizations grow through leadership workshops and OrgSync trainings.

There are numerous benefits to being part of the Leadership Exchange. Students have the opportunity to develop relationships with other student leaders and organizations, develop a strong sense of personal leadership style, and improve presentation and communication skills. Members also have the unique opportunity to help other UK students "lead from where they are."

Online applications are due on March 11 and can be found here

Interviews will take place the week of March 28-April 1. A student selected for an interview round of the application process will be contacted to schedule an interview by Friday, March 25. Applicants will be notified by April 10 of application status following the interview process.
