Student Teams

Our Student Ambassador team connects the leadership principles of Warren Bennis with the unique cultures and student needs across UC’s colleges. Ambassadors also help facilitate workshops and leadership programming.

The student ambassador-college liaison relationship is central to the program’s success. Ambassadors gain access to experienced mentors, strengthen their leadership skills and confidence, and connect with campus opportunities and resources they might not otherwise discover. Mentors deepen their understanding of leadership through teaching while developing coaching and communication skills and investing in the next generation of leaders.

Together, this partnership creates a supportive environment where leadership lessons are practical, relevant and immediately applicable across disciplines. It also strengthens the institute through a sustainable cycle of knowledge-sharing, mentorship and peer accountability.

Ultimately, the program develops ethical, effective leaders prepared to make a positive impact across campus and beyond

The Warren Bennis Leadership Student Team is an interdisciplinary group of student leaders from across campus, selected for their potential, diverse perspectives and commitment to advancing leadership at UC.

The team’s signature initiative is Leadership Week, which creates meaningful leadership experiences and connects students to opportunities for growth, reflection and collaboration across campus.

Team members also support alumni engagement, helping graduates stay connected to the institute and one another through events and shared experiences. From Homecoming mixers and parade participation to year-round touchpoints, these efforts strengthen community and celebrate the institute’s impact across generations.
