Program RequirementsLEAD Scholars Guide

The program requires full participation in programs and mentoring opportunities related to four different areas: Leadership, Communication, Career, and Life at CWRU

Year One:

Students will attend a program in each category. In the first semester, students will attend monthly one-on-one meetings with their mentor. In the second semester, they will meet with their mentor every four to six weeks. Mentors are individuals who work throughout the university, not just in the Chemistry Department.

Year Two:

Students will focus on their career path and career goals while working closely with our Career Center and mentors.

At the end of a student’s studies, if all requirements are met, students will receive a Chemistry LEAD Scholars certificate, and will additionally be awarded an International Success Ambassador certificate.
