Developing Leaders
We’ve designed the CLP so that you can learn from great
leaders, be around other exceptional students, and take part in
exclusive activities.
George Washington, Steve Jobs, Warren Buffett, Vince Lombardi, Martin Luther King, Jr.,
Cornelius Vanderbilt... there are many famous leaders throughout history.
As a Cornell Leader, you will also have the opportunity to
develop a close relationship with a faculty member and be
mentored by alumni who will guide you through your academic
career and beyond.
But do you know the names of current leaders in business, such as: Jamie Dimon,
Jim Turley, Ace Greenberg, Ralph Babb, Pam Patsley, Mark Burkhart
or Harry Cornell?
The CLP experience
These are leaders — six of them are Mizzou alumni — who run Fortune 500
r
r
companies, who make tough decisions, who guide thousands of people, and who you
could meet and learn from as a student in the Cornell Leadership Program (CLP).
The Trulaske College of Business started the CLP to develop leaders in business.
Students are proud to receive
a medallion to recognize their
involvement in the CLP Program.
The program is highly selective, and Cornell Leaders are engaged from the start.
