UCI Summer Session offers current UCI undergraduate students the opportunity to develop leadership and mentorship skills through a formal Leadership Development Program. Program participants are known as Mentors. Through this hands-on experience, Mentors develop programmatic events, provide feedback on the interests and needs of current students, create a warm and engaging environment, and work alongside Summer Session Staff Leads to enhance the experiences of students in our summer programs. Read the remainder of this page for more information about program highlights, training, and expectations. We hope to work with you in our 2018 Leadership Development Program!
