Through cross-campus collaboration, the Husky Leadership Initiative catalyzes student leadership education opportunities at the UW both in and outside the classroom. HLI cultivates the knowledge, skills and attitudes students need to be effective change agents and contributing members in their communities.

Student programs
Husky Leadership Initiative programs are designed to reach students at multiple points, times, locations and ways. From programs that are broad-based and short-term to opportunities that are in-depth and ask for an extended commitment, we provide many ways for students to discover and develop their own style of leadership.
