The Leadership Academy, part of the original Cohen gift strives to be a curricular program that engages students in contemporary research and scholarship based on an annual theme, question, or issue. For the 2025 theme, 鈥淭he Lore of Leadership鈥� students will participate as a cohort in a summer pre-session course including a travel experience and a design thinking focused project culminating in pitches to the faculty thought leaders and our annual community partners.

Honors students have big dreams and ask big questions that don鈥檛 fit neatly into disciplinary models and majors. The academy is envisioned to be a transformative leadership experience that brings together collaborative dual intellectual communities.

First, a team of faculty thought leaders will collectively imagine an interdisciplinary course focused on the annual theme and leadership- exploring tension, challenges/problems, and big ideas. Second, the students will create another layer in the intellectual community and are invited to engage with the faculty thought leaders in a process that is aimed at deepening understanding, integrating collective and individual experiences through course work and travel with the goal of sparking ideas, solutions, policy, and project pitches. 

The 2025 Lead for Tomorrow Cohen Honors Leadership Academy in honor of the 5th anniversary of the academy is going international. This year鈥檚 Place as Text location is Edinburgh, Scotland exploring 鈥淭he Lore of Leadership.鈥� A more detailed travel itinerary will be provided to Academy students during the Spring 2025 semester. Our Place as Text experience will be a time to build understanding, develop leadership skills, and connection with fellow students and faculty.
