Programs

The Office of Leadership Development and Intercultural Affairs offers a wide range of programs for students seeking to hone their leadership skills and explore issues relating to diversity.

Current Programs

Collegiate Leadership Vanderbilt: Collegiate Leadership Vanderbilt, or CLV, allows up to 30 students to meet on a monthly basis with campus, local, and state leaders from various capacities in our communities. At the end of the year long program, students travel to meet with alumni and explore a leadership topic based upon the city they visit.

Leadership Hall: Leadership Hall is Vanderbilt's premier living and learning environment. Students who participate in the hall examine their own leadership abilities using Kouzes' and Posner's Leadership Practices Inventory.

Magnolia Awards: The Magnolia Awards recognize student efforts in the campus community. Awards are chosen from either applicant pools or nominations; check the descriptions of each award to find the right one for you.

Collegiate Leadership Summit: In spring 2007, the Collegiate Leadership Summit (CLS) will celebrate its 14th year of bringing students from across Tennessee together to learn about leadership. This annual event is planned by administrators from Vanderbilt, Austin Peay, MTSU, TSU, UT-Knoxville, and Vol State.

Multicultural Leadership Council: Spring from work by Vanderbilt's SGA and Multicultural groups, the Multicultural Leadership Council acts as steering committee for the student organizations under its umbrella. In addition, the Council develops the leadership of its participants in order to strengthen and safeguard the continuation of its member organizations.
