FPU is committed to helping students develop character and competence to become effective leaders—those who inspire, empower and serve others. We help students increase their leadership skills and abilities by expanding their knowledge and experience through scholarship, mentoring and practice.

Students who participate in leadership receive many benefits including:

• Attending the annual leadership retreat
• Developing leadership skills through training, scholarship and application
• Building relationships with administration, faculty, staff and peers
• Making a difference through volunteer community service and experiential learning opportunities
• Enhancing and improving leadership competence by planning and participating in projects and events
• Enjoying the satisfaction of being personally challenged and working hard to make a difference on campus, in the community and literally around the world
