Congratulations to this semester’s recipients of the UW-Madison Leadership Certificate program. The students listed below have committed to developing their own leadership capacity and excel both inside and outside the classroom.
This program would not be possible without the efforts of our Review Committee who spent their time reviewing the applications of recipients, provided insightful feedback for their leadership development, and attended our recipient’s capstone presentations. Thank you.
