ABOUT US

The center transforms lives through leadership education, self-exploration, and community service, helping students develop skills and knowledge to become more effective leaders and engage responsibly with communities. The center offers more than 20 programs that foster opportunities to create positive, sustainable change on campus, in our communities, and around the world. Opportunities range from civic engagement initiatives to intensive week-long leadership training, from one-time local service trips with EngageTLH to global summers of service through the Moellership Program. Our ultimate goal is to develop civic-minded leaders who are aware of their own values and readily seek opportunities for life-long learning, meaningful influence and positions of trust.

"The center is an amazing place where you can not only learn about yourself, but you can learn about how you relate to other people. It definitely has changed the way I view leadership and the way I can affect other people."

-Jalicia Lewis, student leader
