Discover Leadership
Discover Leadership is a program at Western Oregon University created to help students who may have limited experience with leadership learn essential skills to increase their confidence and enhance their knowledge. This program helps prepare students for different leadership opportunities on campus, such as becoming a Resident Assistant, WOU Crew Member, Programming Assistant, Student Government Official, and more. It is also a great way to meet new friends and learn about campus resources.
