Ithaca College

The Leadership Scholar Program recognizes students with a demonstrated record of academic and co-curricular achievements. Students enter the program during their first year at Ithaca College and take on new leadership challenges every semester until they graduate. Components of the program include service projects, professional development, and leadership in student organizations that is recorded in leadership portfolios that are presented to administrators and peers every semester. 

During the semester prior to graduation, all Leadership Scholars present a Senior Capstone to highlight their greatest achievement as a student leader during their time at Ithaca College. The scholars present on a variety of experiences that have helped them develop leadership skills, reflect on lessons learned, and discuss the impact of these experiences on their plans after IC, as well. 35 graduating scholars completed their capstones this year.
