The Office of Student Leadership Programs coordinates educational experiences for students outside the classroom. Social, educational, cultural, and recreational opportunities planned and created by, with, and for students assist in self-understanding and development which creates strong citizens of any community. SLP offers ways for students to explore leadership, teamwork, and knowledge of the world beyond the classroom. Through the same tenets of the Wentworth Creed: honesty, energy, economy, and system, we strive to complement the academic learning of Wentworth students to better prepare them professionally and for the world outside of WIT.

Leadership Programs
Students at Wentworth Institute of Technology will have the opportunity to actively engage in a four year leadership program. It focuses on the four main values of the SLP Leadership Commitment; Active engagement, Open-mindedness, Awareness, and Collaboration.

Currently, students can enroll into the Emerging Leaders program to learn the basic skills necessary to be an effective leader and can then follow that with the Leadership Exploration Seminar, where they will learn the theory behind leadership and how to apply it. By 2007, students will have the opportunity to choose from a variety of leadership opportunities as part of our (still in development) “Leadership in Action” series, including the Women's Leadership Institute, the Multicultural Leadership Summit, and the Outdoor Leadership Excursion. By 2008, students will have the option to partake in a capstone leadership course and/or be a Leadership Intern. Both programs will focus on students engaging in their community and putting to practice, what they have learned.
