<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Only a couple days until the new semester starts I know you are all excited, and if you are like me wondering where summer went.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m excited to let you know the Dean’s Leadership 50’s first year was quite successful and the program is continuing to grow.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There will be a change in the selection process this year. I appreciate the work you did in nominating students last year it has been decided to have all students apply through competitive application. This doesn’t mean you and your units
don’t have the opportunity to advocate for students you feel strongly would fit into and benefit from the program. As part of their application packet students can, but are not required to, include a letter of support from an advisor or faculty member. These
letter will have significant influence on the selection process. Students will submit an application, targeted cover letter, tailored resume with the optional letter of support. Students will then go through screening interviews and selections will be made
no later than September 19<sup>th</sup>. Candidates for the DL50 must be a sophomore enrolled in a CALS major with a minimum GPA of 3.0.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just a quick reminder about what the DL50 is and the goals of the program. The mission of the Dean’s Leadership 50(DL50) Program is to provide CALS students with experiences and opportunities to build advanced career skills related to
leadership coupled with management and entrepreneurship. The activities and events of the DL50 focus on experiences that lead to outstanding management skills and increase understanding of that it takes to be a successful entrepreneur. Experiences include,
small group dinners with executives, development of an outstanding career portfolio, leading and participating in projects with an entrepreneurial focus, and community networking.
<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Students who are interested can email me directly or attend one of 2 information open houses September 4<sup>th</sup> 9:30am-11am or September 8<sup>th</sup> 2pm-4pm both will be held in Forbes 204A1.<o:p></o:p></p>
