The Leadership Experience provides students with a comprehensive, hands-on learning experience that focuses on leadership theory, practice, and development. Participants will have opportunities to learn about leadership foundational theories and their day-to-day application, explore social responsibility and citizenship, and develop a personal leadership philosophy and vision for continued development as a leader. Successful completion of the program will result in an official notation on your Southern Miss transcript and the receipt of a certificate signed by the University president and provost.
The Leadership Experience is a great opportunity for you to enhance your existing leadership skills.

Students wishing to begin the certificate program or those who want to see what it is all about should enroll in IDS 181 for the fall semester. To officially enter the Leadership Experience Program, you will need to submit the online Change of Major/Minor form. The abbreviation for our program is "TLECP," but you do not need this form to enroll in IDS 181. If you have more questions, email leadershipFREEMississippi.
