When students choose to study at Wentworth, they are afforded the benefit of a practical, hands-on approach to learning that combines skill, theory, and action. The Office of Student Leadership Programs (SLP) offers students the opportunity to participate in a four-year experience, called Soar in Four, aimed to develop leadership skills, explore a myriad of leadership theories, and actively engage in the practice of leadership. Soar in Four focuses on the four values of the Office of Student Leadership Programs’ Leadership Commitment: Active Engagement, Open-mindedness, Awareness, and Collaboration.
The Soar in Four leadership experience follows a balanced and purposeful track. Students begin with the Emerging Leaders Program, which presents the development of skills, and then enroll in the Leadership Exploration Seminar to examine leadership theory and its application. From this point, students select experiences they find interesting, relevant to a campus leadership role they currently hold, or something entirely new through the Leadership in Action series. Finally, students will participate in a Captstone Leadership Course.
