2019-20 LEP Application
What is it?
The UCF Leadership Empowerment Program provides leadership development opportunities for program scholars to gain career enhancing skills and leadership experiences in today’s dynamic higher educational environment.
Who is eligible?
Employees from under-represented minority identities, such as women, people of color and LGBTQ, who have worked at UCF in a full-time USPS, A&P, or Faculty position for at least three years from their date of employment by July 1 of the current year are eligible to apply for the Leadership Empowerment Program.
What are the Benefits?
- During the year-long program, monthly seminars are hosted by the Office of Diversity and Inclusion. Key administrators, as well as state or national leadership development or subject-area experts, present to the group.
- A Professional Development Grant is awarded to participating scholars to use toward the professional activity of their choice.
- A mentor is assigned to further develop LEP scholars’ professional knowledge, skills, and abilities as a means of reaching their career goals.
- LEP scholars organize, sponsor, and implement a Leadership Institute each spring semester.
- Career planning is an integral part of the program. Building a professional portfolio and completing a career map presentation are core assignments. Scholars are able to network with the most talented leaders within the university.
- A graduation reception is held during the Spring Semester to celebrate successful program completion.
- Those who successfully complete LEP are entitled to a waiver of posting for a UCF position. LEP graduates have become Vice-Presidents, Provosts, Directors, and other high-level administrators at various institutions of higher education. Although there is no guarantee that scholars will receive promotions, the Leadership Enhancement Program has helped many higher education professionals achieve their goals.

LATINX, LATIN@, LATINA/O: A START TO INCLUSIVITY WEBINAR
Wednesday, August 2nd 12pm-1pm EST
This webinar will give everyone a foundation on where the terms Latinx, Latin@, and Latina/o come from. All participants will have a better sense of what these terms mean. Participants will also have an opportunity to dialogue with panelists through a facilitated discussion, to develop their perspective and hear from others. This is intended as an educational opportunity to build a foundation around these terms, in order to foster inclusivity within our community. Allies are welcome!
Please email Justin Andrade to RSVP. This is a great opportunity to learn how to support our Latina/o/x students and campus community. Feel free to bring your lunch!
