The Leadership Consultant Program is a new program that is a part of LEAD 360. As a part of this program student leaders give presentations once a month to their peers about various leadership topics. These topics may include time and priority management, retaining members, leadership styles, etc. Being a part of this new initiative is an exciting opportunity for student leaders on campus. As a Consultant, you must have a willingness to play a part in creating a new leadership program for the campus in order to best meet the needs of Northeastern University students. Qualified applicants must be a third, fourth, or fifth year student, have a 2.75 GPA or higher, be involved in the campus and/or community, and have full-time NU student status.

As a Leadership Consultant you are required to:

Attend one Training Session
Work with Co-presentor to develop your presentation
Attend two pre-presentation meetings with a staff member
Give one presentation to current NU students during the semester
Attend meetings held on the 1st and 15th day of every month to review relevant opportunities

In addition to the application, there is a 5 minute presentation/facilitation and a 20 minute interview. The presentation/facilitation will be on the topic of your choice but it must be a topic that you think would be a good presentation topic for one of the monthly sessions. Be as creative as you would like. You will be evaluated on your presentation of ideas and your level of ability to engage the audience.
