Leadership Development
An important part of your experience at the Heinz School is developing your leadership ability. While we believe that there are some skills of leadership that can be taught, there are other aspects of leadership that are self-directed and must be developed over time. The Heinz School offers an array of opportunities for you to begin understanding your personal capacity for leadership and to put those skills to the test.
