Rockefeller Leadership Fellows
Rockefeller Leadership Fellows (RLF) is the capstone leadership program for seniors.
COVID-19 UPDATE
Rockefeller Center programs have been offered remotely since the Spring 2020 term. Programs will continue in a remote format for the Winter 2021 term in order to be accessible to all students and to adhere to social distancing and group gathering policies. We are determined to continue offering quality programming in innovative ways.
About the Program
As Rockefeller Leadership Fellows, seniors gain a better understanding of the qualities and responsibilities expected of leaders and learn to adapt their own leadership styles to different situations. Fellows are selected during their junior spring and begin the program as seniors the following academic year. As they take part in the workshops, dinner discussions, and team-building exercises, the fellows examine their skills, qualities, and attributes as leaders, and analyze how these influence teamwork and play out in their lives.
Through the study of various theories of leadership and experiential exercises, the program highlights key approaches to promoting teamwork and achieving goals. The program concludes with a look at leadership challenges both in a work environment and at a societal level, and with a study of how Fellows can strengthen their own effectiveness as leaders.
Beginning in the 2020-2021 academic year, the RLF program is being offered both synchronously and asynchronously.
