Leadership Week

What is Leadership Week?

Leadership Week is a university-wide collaboration to strengthen the culture of student leadership at Ohio State. Whether you have lots of leadership experience or are new to the concept, we encourage you to attend at least one event this week to strengthen your leadership abilities in one or several of the leadership themes explored throughout the week.

When is Leadership Week?

Leadership Week 2025 took place from September 29 - October 3.

Please check back next semester for information about Leadership Week 2026 dates!

Leadership Week Incentive Program

We want you to take advantage of as many Leadership Week programs as possible, so we have launched an incentive program for Leadership Week this year!

  • For each session you attend, you'll be entered to win one of several $25 Gift Cards (BuckID, Target, Roots Natural Kitchen, Chipotle, Bibibop)
  • The more sessions you attend, the more entries you'll recieve!

Leadership Week Certification Program

This year we are bringing back our Leadership Week Certification Program to encourage students to take advantage of as many Leadership Week programs as possible and recognize their efforts!

  • If you attend 3 or more sessions throughout Leadership Week, you will receive a Leadership Week Silver Certification recognizing your efforts in leadership development. 

  • If you attend 5 or more sessions throughout Leadership Week, you will receive a Leadership Week Gold Certification recognizing your efforts in leadership development.

Questions? Please contact Kristen Van Gundy!

If you require an accommodation such as live captioning or interpretation to participate in a Leadership Week event, please contact Kristen Van Gundy at vangundy.48@osu.edu. Requests made by one week before the selected session will generally allow us to provide seamless access, but the university will make every effort to meet requests made after this date.
