Lead for Life is a course that brings character to the heart of leadership, living out the motto on the shield of the University: wisdom and virtue, sapientia et virtus, 明德格物. This course will not only inform you, it will transform you.
Discover the building blocks to solve the puzzle of your life!
Why Join? Coming to university is probably the biggest upheaval so far in your life. It’s exciting! But it can also be hard. It can feel like a giant jigsaw puzzle with pieces scattered randomly around you: Where do you begin? How do the pieces fit together? And no one seems to be teaching you how to get your life together.
Lead for Life is here for you. It is more than a course. It is a life-changing journey based on values and virtues that will both guide you through your time at university and impart a vision of leadership that will enable you to build flourishing communities in the future.
To get a job, we encourage you to get a life.
“Through Lead for Life, I’ve learned to identify my talents, limitations, values, and beliefs. This has allowed me to understand myself and my motives better, enabling me to make more deliberate and authentic decisions. I have made it a habit to regularly reflect on my actions and experiences, seeking opportunities for growth and learning. My mentors have been incredibly supportive in this process, providing guidance and feedback.”
