Cronkite Leadership Academy

Beginning in fall 2013, the Cronkite Leadership Academy will be open to New American University President’s, Provost’s and out-of-state Dean’s scholarship recipients who are first-time freshmen enrolled in the Cronkite School. Arizona State University automatically considers all first-time freshmen applicants for these merit scholarships.

Cronkite Leadership Academy participants will benefit from a variety of special opportunities designed to build their leadership skills, engage them in the community and enhance their ASU experience, including:

• Participation in leadership development seminars led by Cronkite faculty on topics such as entrepreneurship, global issues and more.
• Participation in large-scale service-learning projects led by Mary Cook, Cronkite director of student success.
• Enrollment in a special section of ASU 101: The ASU Experience, a one-credit course required for all ASU freshmen.

All Cronkite first-time freshmen who are admitted to Barrett, The Honors College, also will be eligible to participate in the Cronkite Leadership Academy.
