The "IamFirst" LEAD Program is a one-year leadership development program for new first-generation freshmen at UVU. ("First-generation" is defined as neither parent/guardian has a U.S. bachelor's degree.)
This program develops students in three key ways:
Students enroll in a 3-credit course each semester (fall and spring), in which they will build a community with other first-generation LEAD students, meet regularly with an assigned peer mentor, and network with a staff or faculty mentor. Scholarships may be available for students who apply and are admitted to the program.
Applications for the 2021-2022 leadership program are currently closed. The application for 2022-2023 will be published in March 2022.
