The new President’s Student Leadership Program begins with a unique, week-long learning opportunity that brings students together from across Manitoba post-secondary institutions and disciplines to build their leadership potential. The program aims to develop future leaders, fostering students’ ability, commitment and drive to lead in their communities and eventual careers in their chosen field. Developed in 2019 as the flagship initiative of the James W. Burns Leadership Institute at the University of Manitoba, the program launched this past June with a diverse group of 27 students in all levels of post-secondary study coming from the University of Manitoba, Red River College, the University of Winnipeg and University College of the North.
