Recent PELP News...

*We have had another successful year with the Big Brother / Big Sister in-school program.  See the response we got from Christie Nelson, Case Manager:

"Dr. Hallums, just wanted to touch base with you...the PELP students are just awesome!!! The girls (especially) send in the most 'newsy' monthly contacts...they include what they continue to work on, the progress they see thus far with their Littles, they set realistic goals, they use reward systems, it is just incredible the response they have given me and what they are all accomplishing!!! I even got a compliment thanking me for what I do and that made my day to be recognized!!!! Just wanted to let you know they are all awesome...good work!"

*We just completed our PELP barbecue for the freshmen and sophomores...everyone had a great time and we thank all the PELP students for their enthusiasm and support!

What is the President's Emerging Leaders Program?

 Our Purpose:

The purpose of PELP is to prepare students at APSU for a lifetime of leadership.

Our Vision:

PELP creates an environment that develops leaders for the future through education and practical experience.

Our Values:

Integrity, Academic Excellence, Leadership, Campus Involvement and Community Service.
(for definitions of the values see our student handbook)

 

A program that emphasizes:

  • Learning about the "tools" of leadership (communication techniques, problem-solving skills, conflict resolution, etc.)
  • Learning about leadership styles of campus and community leaders
  • Applying leadership skills in real-life situations on campus or in community agencies
  • Improving your leadership skills by understanding your strengths and weaknesses
  • Learning about ethical principles for leadership

The President's Emerging Leaders Program proudly supports Govs and Lady Govs Athletics, and we currently have several members who are active within the sports teams.  To find out more about our athletic programs click here.
