Leadership Development
The Office of Leadership Development offers a variety of ways for students to learn more about themselves, develop sharper skills, and reflect on their impact on campus. Our biggest events include the IGNITE Leadership Retreat, Cord & Ring Ceremony, and the Campus Awards.

This annual celebration of students, staff, faculty, and student organizations invites the UNTD community to nominate our best and brightest Trailblazers. The purpose of these awards is to acknowledge the outstanding work and contributions made in the past year to improve our campus, community and our world.
The Ignite Leadership Retreat is an annual, off-campus leadership development program that happens during the fall semester. Students who participate will learn about personal responsibility, teamwork, and communication while enjoying hands-on experiences to evolve as leaders.
Dates of the 2025-2026 IGNITE Leadership Retreat are October 2nd-5th, 2025.
Our students are exceptional student leaders, members of organizations and teams, organizers of community service, and true trailblazers. There are a few ways to serve as a student leader on campus. Join an organization, be our mascot, or work for the Office of Student Engagement as one of our student employees.
