Our leadership resources allow students to take control of their development, and take it further. In the John Martinson Honors College, we believe everyone has leadership potential and our goal is to provide learning tools and experiences that help students cultivate a well-rounded skillset. We offer chances to engage with inspiring leadership speakers as well as fun Teamwork Game Labs where students can hone their collaboration skills through dynamic activities.

Lead Forward Luminaries Series
Each academic year, a number of Leadership Luminaries will be brought to campus to provide additional instruction and inspiration to program participants.These luminaries will consist of leaders who have promoted diverse causes -- such as social and tech justice, equal rights, health and wellbeing, environmentalism, etc. -- through social movements, public action, social entrepreneurship, non-profit organization, etc. Students will have opportunities to ask questions and gain valuable insights into how to grow as a leader and make a social impact.

Leadership & Professional Development Competency Videos
The John Martinson Honors College teamed up with the Roger C. Stewart Leadership & Professional Development Department to create the LPD Competencies Video Series. In each brief video, a Purdue alumni shares their experience with one of the twenty leadership and professional development competencies, highlighting how it has shaped their success after college and how they were able to develop this competency while at Purdue. These engaging videos offer students a deeper understanding of the skills that will shape their own future achievements.
