The Sine Institute Collaborative Leadership Certificate program provides a unique opportunity for AU undergraduate students to expand their knowledge of politics and policy in today’s world while exploring and developing their individual leadership styles, skills and values.

Students will be required to attend 7 seminars led by our 2024 Fellows that will cover all areas of the policy making process. In addition to attending the 7 seminars, the cohort will be asked to complete a final semester reflection paper that reflects on lessons learned in relation to their own leadership journey.

All students admitted to the program are required to attend the Feb. 1st All Fellows Kick Off Panel. This will count as one completed seminar towards the program requirement. For the additional 6 seminars, students will have the flexibility to choose what works for their schedule based off the Fellows Seminar Calendar that runs from Feb-April.

To be considered for the program, students must fill out the following application. The last day to submit is January 30, 2024 and students will be accepted on a rolling basis. If you have any questions, please email us at sineinstitute@american.edu.
