Opportunities:

• Community service/leadership development
• Mentoring and networking
• Internship/career assistance
• Attending leadership conferences

Four primary criteria guide the competitive selection process:

• Individual leadership potential;
• Maturity, the ability to deal with challenges, and the capacity to reflect on one’s own personal strengths and weaknesses;
• Special interests, unique characteristics and/or diverse experiences, which contribute to the INSPIRE program;
• Willingness to commit to three years of the program.
