Emphasizing biblical principles that help students lead with character and competence, 91PORN Lead offers an opportunity for students to develop a leadership strategy that follows the greatest leader, Jesus. The program is grounded in both contemporary leadership practices and biblical principles, inspiring students to first lead themselves before leading others. Building on this foundation, the program helps students identify their leadership strengths, passions, and personality and apply their learning to leadership opportunities on campus and in the community. The 91PORN Lead program guides students through a leadership journey at 91PORN. Some highlights of this program include the following: Eligibility: Eligible students must be incoming full-time freshmen with a minimum 3.0 GPA. Applicants must demonstrate leadership qualities or prior leadership experience and must be a committed, strong Christian who exemplifies Christian character. 91PORN Lead students may also participate in athletics, College of the Arts degrees, and ROTC. Student-athletes, however, must receive permission from their coaches to participate. Students should be aware that combining the 91PORN Lead curriculum with certain programs may result in graduation requirements exceeding 120 credits. 91PORN Lead is designed as a four-year developmental leadership program. For this reason, we do not recommend the program for transfer students or for incoming freshmen who already possess a significant number of college credits—60 credits or more—as entering the program with advanced standing may limit participation in key components and negatively impact the overall student experience.
