An RSVP is a necessary courtesy for our presenters, so they know how many students to prepare for. In addition, if we are providing refreshments or a meal at a program, we must let catering know how many students they are serving. We are charged based on this number, so your RSVP is your commitment to attend.

If you must cancel your reservation, please email Abby Barber (abarber@udel.edu and sluchey@udel.edu) to cancel.

No. Each tier is designed to be completed in a single, academic year.

To earn the Emerging Leader certificate (Tier 1), you need to attend 10 events that cover each of the 5 practices of exemplary leadership. In addition, you must attend 3 required workshops: Why Leadership?, The Leadership Challenge, and Leading by Showing Your True Colors.

We award you the credit in whichever practice area you need.

No. Tier 1 is open to all students at the University of Delaware. While we encourage students to get started as freshmen so they can complete all the Tiers, we have many seniors who earn the Emerging Leader, Tier 1 certificate.

No. You only need to complete Tier 1 in order to enroll in Tier 2.

The Engaged Leader, Tier 2 focuses on project management. Students engage in an in-depth study of The Leadership Challenge model of leadership and then design and implement a project focused on positive change, using the models to lead their team.

BHLP Community Fellows, Tier 3, focuses on community engagement. Students are placed with a non-profit in whose mission they have some interest. The fall semester is spent learning about the non-profit and how it functions. During spring semester, students take the lead on a project for the non-profit.

Most of the cost of BHLP is covered by student fees you already pay. However, due to the size and scope of the program, it is necessary to charge a small fee to help defray the cost of supplies, travel and other incidentals that help BHLP be a nationally benchmarked program.

The fees are as follows:
Tier 1: $50
Tiers 2 and 3: $100
Graduate participation in any tier: $150

Students for whom this fee presents a financial strain should consult Susan Luchey. Fees may be waived or reduced if proper documentation of financial need can be provided.

Learning to lead effectively is a lifelong process. More importantly, holding a title is not a guarantee of your ability to effectively develop a team or lead that team to successful completion of its mission. BHLP will provide you with specific tools to enable your success, to teach you a framework within which you can lead, and help you to develop a leadership portfolio that makes you more attractive to potential employers.
