Nick Mamalakis Emerging Leader Program


The Nick Mamalakis Emerging Leader Program is a 10-week leadership development program for first year students and students new to Armstrong. The program will be highly interactive with participants taking a major role in each program. Mini-lectures, skill building workshops, and human potential exercises will provide hands-on training for the partipants to learn to be more effective as a person and as a leader.
