Siegfried Entrepreneurial Leadership Fellows Program

Take Action, Make an Impact

The Siegfried Entrepreneurial Leadership Fellows program is a highly selective, unique experience designed to expand and deepen understanding of leadership and oneself as a leader, connect and learn with others, and inspire initiative for positive impact.

The Siegfried Entrepreneurial Leadership Fellows has provided me with opportunities to explore and delve deeper into my own leadership in a supportive environment of fellow students and mentors. Being a part of this program has also expanded my perspective on leadership and what it means to be a true leader.
