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 active involvement in student organizations that is recorded in leadership portfolios, which 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 professional skills and make an impact at Ithaca College. 41 graduating scholars completed their capstones this year.
