Leaders in Transition: Transfer House
Application deadline is May 1.
The Leaders in Transition living & learning community gives transfer students an opportunity to live together in a residence hall with others who share similar interests in leadership development and civic engagement, while taking a three-credit leadership course during the fall semester.
Is Leaders in Transition right for me?
If you are a motivated transfer student who cares about social justice and civic engagement, wants to develop leadership potential through a leadership course, and live on campus with like-minded transfer students, Leaders in Transition may be a good fit for you!
Live:
Once accepted to the program, students will live together in Centennial Hall on the East Bank of the Minneapolis Campus. Centennial has a dining hall located in the building and offers many amenities (see description on the Housing and Residential Life Web page).
Learn:
Through a course in common…
Every student in the Leaders in Transition living
& learning community will enroll in a 3-credit

University. This course is the introductory
course in the undergraduate Leadership
Minor.

change. The course format is discussion-based,
and very reflective.

How do I apply?
