The Pioneer Leadership Program members are part of a cohort that stays together throughout
their tenure at DU. This unique community experience teaches students to build collaborative,
inclusive relationships marked by respect and genuine interest of others.
The Pioneer Leadership Program pushes students to go beyond the surface of issues
and concepts, to develop a natural quest for knowledge and to cultivate a rigorous
curiosity for life-long learning.
Fueled by a value-based, personal code of ethics, the Pioneer Leadership Program instills
confidence in leaders so that they are willing to take risks, make the tough calls
and ultimately do the right thing.
The Pioneer Leadership Program students develop an awareness of the contributions
and interdependence of communities here in the United States and around the world.
Getting first-hand experience in leadership and directly contributing to the public
good, students have worked to better communities.
The Pioneer Leadership Program (PLP) has been developing the leadership skills of
some of the University of Denver's most talented undergraduate students since 1995.
PLP is a unique academic minor and Living and Learning Community at the University
of Denver.
