Husky Leadership Certificate Mentor

Each year we seek UW faculty, staff, and community members to serve as mentors for the Husky Leadership Certificate program. Students are matched with a Husky Leadership Certificate mentor and create an e-portfolio where they reflect upon, articulate, and demonstrate their leadership skills and abilities in relation to the Student Leadership Competencies.

What is the Husky Leadership Certificate?

Through the Husky Leadership Certificate, students identify, articulate and demonstrate their leadership growth and accomplishments during their undergraduate education. The Husky Leadership Certificate is designed for undergraduate students in their senior & 5th year at the UW. Much of the work of the program is centered on reflection, and it is because of this that we target students who are in their final years at the university.

What does it mean to serve as a Husky Leadership Certificate mentor?

Mentorship is an invaluable component of the Husky Leadership Certificate program. Mentors not only guide the student through the program but also provide opportunities for critical reflection leading to enhanced learning and growth.

• Mentors are matched with one UW undergraduate student and agree to meet with the student about twice a month for reflective conversations.
• The approximate time commitment is about 2-4 hours per month from January-May
• Students complete their leadership portfolios in the spring quarter and present their work in May.
