High School Leadership Institute
Immerse Your Students in a Day of Leadership Training at CNU
The President’s Leadership Program at Christopher Newport University invites high school educators to give their students an unforgettable experience through our High School Leadership Institute—a full day of interactive programming designed to inspire, challenge, and empower the next generation of leaders.
Your students will spend the day on our beautiful campus participating in:
- Team-building exercises that promote collaboration and communication
- Engaging workshops led by PLP students and staff fostering leadership development
- Lunch panels with current CNU students that can better prepare them for the college experience and application process
- Interactive sessions focused on self-discovery, service, and purpose to inform their potential through leadership competencies
- Individualized programming tailored to achieve your desired takeaways
This is a unique opportunity for high school students to develop their leadership skills so they can invest back into their school and organizations, while gaining insight into college life and the values of the President’s Leadership Program.
We’d love to collaborate with you and immerse your students in leadership on campus. To get started, please fill out our interest form, and a member of our team will reach out to begin planning your visit.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us—we look forward to welcoming you and your students to Christopher Newport!
“I feel like the program was great for our high school students. It gave them an opportunity to participate in team building activities while learning different ways to lead a group.”
“They taught lessons in a way that we could relate to from the activities and helped us figure out ways to apply them when we go back to school.”
“I think they did a fabulous job of weaving the importance of teamwork, as it relates to leadership (and followership), in a fun and impactful way.”
“I learned to be bold and stand strong in my values, while expecting challenges in the road to success… and to work with other leaders to sharpen my skills as well as theirs.”
“It opened different perspectives for me and introduced ways I can be a leader while working in groups by being a good listener and being creative.”
“CNU has an extremely put together and interesting leadership program I would be interested in if I was going there.”
