Bronco LEAD


The Bronco LEAD Program is Cal Poly Pomona's FREE campus-wide leadership certification program. This co-curriculum-based program focuses on developing leaders across campus by offering leadership based transdisciplinary workshops. Participants will receive credit for attending any workshops, lecture or events sponsored by Bronco LEAD. After completing the curriculum, students will be invited to the Bronco LEADership Luncheon that acknowledges their achievements within the program. The Bronco LEAD program is broken down into the following tiers:
