LPD Competencies Video Series

Leadership is a collection of skills and abilities that you will spend your lifetime developing and refining. Purdue has defined a set of competencies for you to use as a roadmap to your leadership and professional development pathway. There are countless ways for you to create your own experience and build your own path on campus.
In this video series, you can listen to Purdue alumni share their experiences and how they developed and continue to utilize these competencies in their careers and lives beyond their time on campus. This project is an ongoing collaboration between Purdue Honors College and the Roger C. Stewart Leadership & Professional Development Department, so check back frequently for new videos.
