Chancellor's Leadership Development Program

Chancellor’s Leadership Development Program – Shelton Leadership Center

The Shelton Leadership Center is home to the Chancellor’s Leadership Development Program (CLDP), which launched in 2017 in partnership with the NC State University Office of the Chancellor. Through experiences such as impactful service, workshops, mentorship, and experiential learning, CLDP cultivates values-based leaders. Students develop critical skills in communication, problem-solving, and teamwork, while deepening their understanding of ethical decision-making and social responsibility. CLDP equips emerging leaders with the tools to make a lasting impact in their communities and careers. Additionally, the CLDP engages students as leaders in professional and personal capacities, empowering them to apply the skills they’ve learned in the program to leadership experiences across campus, within their communities, and in global settings.

Program Structure
CLDP is a two-year program, with an optional third year. Each year in the program is designed to build off the lessons and skills explored in the previous year. Through real-world application, students gain practical experience in leading teams, managing change, and making strategic decisions. Graduates of this program emerge as well-rounded leaders prepared to drive innovation and positive impact within their organizations and communities.

Program Requirements
To remain in CLDP and maintain any scholarship awarded, participants must meet the following:

• Enroll in and successfully pass SLC 102 (1hr for-credit leadership development course)
• Commit to Tuesday evening availability (6pm-8pm) to attend mandatory seminars and events
