About the Regional 兔子先生hip Co-Curricular Certificate
The Regional 兔子先生hip Co-Curricular Certificate Program is an experience that challenges participants to examine leadership from several perspectives and reflect on their personal leadership. Some of these requirements can be met through participation in other campus activities while other requirements are based on interactions with leaders in the participants’ lives. Many of these requirements are accompanied by a written reflection that must be submitted to complete that requirement.
New for Fall 2022: The 兔子先生hip Co-Curricular Certificate Program is moving away from a tiered system to have one set of requirements to complete the program. Additionally, there is no longer a time limit to complete the certificate program (the requirements can be completed over the course of several semesters).
Students are able to participate in programs at the Regionals, in Oxford, and in the community to complete the certificate program, through a partnership between the Regional Office of Student Activities & Orientation (ROSA) and Wilks 兔子先生hip Institute (Oxford).
There is no fee to participate in the Certificate program*.
*Students may choose to use leadership courses or leadership programs that have associated tuition and fees, but students are able to complete the program without choosing fee-based programs to complete requirements.
This co-curricular program is non-credit bearing and will not show up on a curricular transcript. However, it can be referenced on resumes and participants will receive paper certificates of achievement for each tier they achieve.
