What is the CAL?

The Center for Advancement of Leadership is a unique program at UVU that is dedicated to enhancing the quality of leadership among individual students. We currently offer a Leadership Certification Program for UVU students that incorporates many elements of leadership development.

Why Mentor

Why Mentor?

The focus of the CAL Mentoring Program is to support CAL students as they progress through the Leadership Certification Program as well as their academic pursuits. Our goal is to assist students in their professional development and provide them with a network to encourage academic and social exploration.

CAL Mentors are rewarded by sharing their professional knowledge and skills, helping others succeed, and supporting leadership development. All you need is a passion for student success and a willingness to spend a couple hours per month developing a relationship with students.

The CAL Mentoring Program gives new students opportunities to have a successful first year in CAL and supports students through academic and social activities.




Student Testimonials

“I started out at UVU knowing only vaguely what I wanted to do, but CAL helped me find my niche! CAL aided in making my first year of college go by smoothly and gave me the perfect avenue to be involved not only at UVU; but in the community. Joining CAL was one of the best decisions I made when considering all of the options that the University had to offer-hands down! I would recommend the CAL to anyone who is looking for opportunities to not only improve themselves on an individual level; but to be a better citizen, student, parent, or leader. The CAL program helps to cultivate well-rounded individuals, and makes sense for anybody with any major.”
