Goucher Leadership Scholars

Goucher students do amazing things every day.  Whether it's participating in Emerging Leaders or the LEAD sophomore year mentoring program or doing research in the lab or helping out a student at 2 a.m. in their residence hall, our student leaders go the extra mile.  Our intention is to put all of that work into perspective.

The Goucher Leadership Scholars program encompasses all of the leadership programs and individual opportunities students participate in over their four years here.  Students are asked to reflect upon their experiences, participate in a variety of workshops, retreats, and conferences on leadership, and think critically on the topic of leadership. 

In the senior year, all students are encouraged and able to apply for the Goucher Leadership Scholars designation.  Participation in the Senior Capstone Leadership Experience is required as one component of the designation.  A portfolio presentation to a panel of faculty and staff is also mandatory.  This presentation is reflective of the student's leadership experiences on campus and also speaks to how the student has achieved Goucher's leadership learning outcomes. 

If all components of the program are successfully completed, the Goucher Leadership Scholars designation is bestowed upon the participants at the annual Leadership Awards Reception in the spring semester.  Additionally, all Leadership Scholars are presented a medallion to be worn at Commencement.
