The Isabella Cannon Leadership Fellows program pairs you with campus leaders, faculty and staff to explore the dynamics of leadership and your own leadership style. Named for the Elon graduate who was the first female mayor of Raleigh, N.C., the program is built around academic coursework and Elon's highly successful leadership development program.
As a freshman, you'll make yourself at home with special orientation events just for Leadership Fellows, and prepare for a fall retreat where you'll identify leadership styles.
Throughout all four years, you will take an active role in campus organizations, community service and especially the four-phase Isabella Cannon Leadership Program. Completion of this program will distinguish you at graduation as an Isabella Cannon Leadership Fellow.
As a Leadership Fellow, you will also participate in all four phases of Elon's distinguished Isabella Cannon Leadership Program.
Investigate your leadership style, how to interact with others and participate in campus clubs and organizations.
Attend a fall retreat and participate in a leadership laboratory experience with a professor or administrator.
Learn about the complex dynamics of creating change, complete a personal and organizational change project, receive training in facilitation and attend a leadership conference.
Explore how to leave a legacy of common good by completing a community-based project, attending capstone discussions and presenting your leadership legacy paper.
Students who are outstanding leaders in their high schools and/or communities, have held one or more leadership positions in organizations, and have a GPA of 3.5 or better and SATs of 1790 (ACT 26) or more are encouraged to apply.
Twenty-five incoming freshmen are selected annually based on leadership experience and potential, academic performance, essays and interviews.
