2023 Academy

This program is inactive or past the deadline.

Description

The Academy is an all expenses paid fellowship to a custom designed, hands-on, leadership experience designed to make even the best of Alpha Kappa Psi more impactful, values-based leaders.


The Academy focuses on the concepts, skills, and values which leaders need to be effective in their role as principled business leaders. The program centers primarily on the individual rather than the organization. Interactive large group sessions are complemented by small group discussions led by Alpha Kappa Psi alumni and successful business leaders.

Academy participants will:
- Clarify personal values and understand how to act with integrity
- Understand leadership styles, strengths, and areas of development
- Build an awareness of the influence of assumptions and bias in leadership
- Understand the change process
- Work in a team to apply knowledge
- Reflect on experience and develop personal action steps
- Strengthen relationships with other members

At this time, we are planning for an in-person Academy experience, but a final decision will be determined closer to the event based on the changing COVID-19 situation.

Requirements

Students must have a 3.00 cumulative GPA or higher (on a 4.00 scale) to apply.

No minimum time of membership is required. Acceptance as a program participant is contingent on full initiation prior to Academy dates.

Preference will be given to applicants who have at least one full year of student membership in AKPsi to complete after the 2023 Academy dates but any current pledge or student in good standing as of the application deadline may apply.
