Learning to lead for life through engaging guest lectures, student-lead workshops, and sponsored lea

As part of the Wisconsin Union, the JLC is run by a group of students determined to empower their peers. We provide students with opportunities to develop one's self and their potential to lead. Leadership can often be a vague concept, with many different interpretations. Using the Authentic Leadership Development model as our foundation, we define leadership as an inclusive, relational process of

working positively with others towards a shared vision. Leadership is in one’s attitude, approach and actions and, therefore, can be learned by combining an understanding of leadership theory with real-life experiences. If you know a student at UW-Madison who is an authentic leader, please nominate them for our Leader of the Month award: go.wisc.edu/authenticleadernomination

Every academic year the JLC sponsors students to attend local and national leadership development related conferences based on their interests and involvements on campus!

This year we are revamping the program. We have two different ways to apply for funding:
1. We highlight a few conferences throughout the year that align with the JLC’s mission and have already been approved for funding.
2. Don’t see a conference you like? No problem! Propose your own that aligns with your interests and focuses on leadership development!
