Nominations are open for the Presidents Leadership Academy (PLA), the top tier of the Southeast Leadership Programs.
PLA is a University-sponsored weekly class during the fall semester for 20 of Southeasts most outstanding junior and senior student leaders. Students selected to participate in PLA will learn about aspects of leadership from a variety of University and community leaders. Additionally, PLA students will be able to refine their leadership skills through working together to propose, develop, and implement a Southeast Success Project, whose purpose is to improve the student experience at Southeast.
