Pioneering Leaders Program

Initiated in the fall of 2006, The Pioneering Leaders Program (PLP) is the first of its kind at Wesleyan College. Developed as a program to identify prospective leaders on campus and give them the accessibility to greater leadership developmental opportunities, PLP consists of 20 members from all four academic classes.

The PLP focuses on the development of leadership skills through participating in monthly leadership discussions and reflections, assisting in the already established Leadership Success Series, reading a leadership text and attending leadership conferences and lectures. In the spring, PLP members assess the program and determine the correct course for the next academic year, moving towards consultant opportunities and the development of new and innovative leadership conferences and programs for local high school or college students.

PLP members who successfully complete the first year of the program receive a leadership certificate denoting their accomplishments, recognizing them as a leader on Wesleyan’s campus and serving as support for future endeavors and portfolios. Currently, membership in PLP lasts for a full academic year; new members are chosen during spring semester.
