Storrs Campus
MONT 420

UConn Honors students are eligible to start their UHL Leadership Experience at any time. The first step is to attend a leadership workshop conducted by the Honors GPS team.

**Please note: The leadership experience must be done completely proactively. This means that your Leadership Action Plan must be approved by your coach, and you must meet with your GPS coach before starting any part of your leadership experience. Projects that have already been started in any way can not be accepted to count for your Leadership experience.

If you feel you are ready to begin your Honors Leadership Experience, you can RSVP for one of the dates on Nexus under the Events tab, or click here:

https://nexus.uconn.edu/secure_per/events/event_registration.php?ser=4245&rc=1736037199

Workshops are limited to the first thirty students who sign up to attend. After you attend a workshop, the Honors GPS staff will coach you through using Portfolium to submit the Leadership Experience.

If you are unable to attend a workshop but still wish to get started on the UHL Leadership Experience, please contact the Honors GPS Team.
