Join the IGNITE Leadership Experience as a mentor!
Student Leadership Development and Volunteer Services and the Center for Student Involvement are looking for mentors to join for the 2016 Fall Semester IGNITE Leadership Experience. IGNITE is a semester-long exploratory leadership program designed to help first- and second-year undergraduate students gain leadership capacities and get involved in UIC.
As engaged leaders, IGNITE mentors will help guide the leadership explorations of first- and second-year UIC students. The ideal mentor will have some leadership experience and, most importantly, be committed to engaging with leadership on a personal, academic, and professional level. IGNITE mentors will gain confidence in their interpersonal, facilitative, and advising skills—all critical areas of need for graduate school and the workforce!
Requirements:
- Must be a UIC junior or senior undergraduate student.
- Must commit to attend every IGNITE session on Tuesday nights from 3:45-6pm starting September 20 and ending November 15.
- Unfortunately, due to the nature of our program, if you have a class/work/personal conflict that overlaps with our program schedule, you are not eligible to apply for the program. Please consider applying next year!
- Mentors must attend Catalyst LeaderShape on Saturday, September 17 from 9am-5pm. We are seeking involved students with a passion for helping other students find their place at UIC.
