The Leadership Experience through Academic Development and Service Residential Learning Community (LEADS RLC) brings together students to share in a fun and engaging exploration of leadership through service and personal development.
Members of this community will live together in Bob Barker Hall and participate in a course exploring the principles of leadership. Through this experience, they will learn to develop individual and group leadership skills to positively impact their communities.

How to apply
- When applying for housing, you will fill out your Housing Application. This application will prompt you to express interest in an RLC, select the LEADS RLC option.
- By selecting this option, you are NOT enrolling in the LEADS RLC, simply showing interest in the community.
- Residence Life will contact you with an application to fill out where you will be considered for a spot in the LEADS RLC.
- You will find out if you were selected to live in an RLC by the end of May.
- Once selected for the community, you will be placed into the LEADS CUFS course in place of your generic CUFS Course.
- Please be aware that some majors require students to take their pre-requisite course instead of a CUFS course. i.e. BUS100. In this case, you will need to commit to taking the LEADS CUFS course and your pre-requisite course. This will give you an extra one hour credit on your transcripts.
