Center for Entrepreneurship: Faith-Based Leadership Program

The University's Faith-Based Leadershp Program is designed for juniors who want to learn about the hurdles leaders in Chruch and faith-based organizations face today. Through participation in this initiative, you will gain first-hand experience through an internship as an executive assistant with a leader from one of these organizations and, at the same time, have the opportunity to reflect and discern how God may be calling you to a vocation using your gifts and talents.
