Students & Families

The Leadership Legacy Experience is the University of Connecticut’s most elite, immersive leadership program that helps prepare talented students for a life of commitment and contribution beyond graduation. The program recognizes and invites the University of Connecticut’s most exceptional undergraduate students to participate in a one-year leadership development program starting in January and ending in December of 2025. Throughout the year, students will engage in biweekly leadership reflections that promote personal and professional development. Additionally, Leadership Legacy Experience hosts a series of interactive excursions such as a whitewater rafting trip, banquet, retreat, homecoming tailgate reunion, and so much more—all paid for. This is an extraordinary opportunity for student-leaders who are seeking personal growth, institutional recognition, networking opportunities, and a thrilling, hands-on learning experience.
