About 

Leadership Legacy brings together graduating FASE student leaders to support their transition into young alumni and provide tools for student group succession. 

Students form a tight-knit community of leaders that support each other’s learning through workshops, discussions, speakers, hands-on work, and peer feedback.

 

Who Is Leadership Legacy for?

Student leaders in their graduating year from any FASE club or organization with an interest in exploring and developing their leadership skills from the lens of executive succession and journey out of student leader roles and into being a young alumnus.

While we welcome applications from all soon-to-graduate FASE club leaders who are thinking about transition & succession in their clubs, preference will be given to applicants who are graduating in 2T6.

What have past students said?

"It made me a more confident leader as I got to interact with other student leaders and recognize that they have their own challenges and uncertainties in their leadership journey."

"Leadership Legacy had a significant impact on my leadership through learning more about how to successfully navigate a transition within my role as a student leader."

"Re-framing the idea of a transition as the ending of a previous opportunity, and changing that into the start/potential for NEW opportunities helped me to better understand how to continue my development as a leader."

"I learned a lot about other clubs and their transition process, and learned from their different ideas and perspectives!"

"Leadership isn’t attached to your organization but your identity, it’s important to foster it individually too!"
