Each term, the Management Leadership Development Program (MLDP) provides students the opportunity to reflect on their leadership experience and build the skills to be more effective leaders. At each session, participants nominate their peers for excellence and explain why their nominees made their experience in MLDP more beneficial and provided an excellent example of leadership during the program. At the end of the term, students must have perfect attendance, on-time assignments, and be nominated multiple times by multiple peers to complete the program with excellence. Below is a synopsis of comments about those who completed MLDP with excellence in the spring of 2023. We thank them for their effort and commitment to the program. Congratulations!
