Tigers Lead
Tigers Lead is a three-tier leadership development program that guides students in discovering themselves as a leader through interactive workshops and hands-on experiences.
Using the Social Change Model of Leadership developed by the Higher Education Research Institute of UCLA, the objective of Tigers Lead is to develop high self-awareness and tangible leadership skills in order to create social change agents.
