The Nuala Pell Leadership Program includes monthly meetings where students explore leadership theory, ethics, evolution of public issues and what it takes to be a leader in the public sector. Each student will shadow a local leader involved in the public sector and reflect on their experience. In 2019, Nuala Pell Leadership Fellows will travel to the nation’s capital where they will participate in group meetings with a wide variety of leaders and engage in team-building exercises.
“The students in the Nuala Pell Leadership Program embody the ideals Mrs. Pell wanted to celebrate when she lent this program her name.” said Jim Ludes, Pell Center executive director. “They are selfless, focused on the public good, and committed to a style of leadership that emphasizes service to others. They inspire me and I look forward to the work they will do.”
