BLDP Shadowing BLDP community members have the opportunity to spend time shadowing a local executive. The arrangement allows the student to accompany the person to meetings, to observe working sessions - whatever that executive has on the agenda for the day. It will be a rare opportunity to see a sampling of what people in that profession, industry or job actually do with their time.

BLDP Honors Certification The seminar is only one part of the BLDP, but a student cannot complete the BLDP without having taken a seminar  in the semester immediately following their admission to the program. In order to complete the BLDP, students must accumulate 14 leadership “units.” The seminar counts for three (3) of the required 14 leadership units

How do I earn the remaining units? The remaining 11 leadership units will be earned by serving in a leadership or coordinator capacity in a school, community, or volunteer organization or event, not merely as a participant. Holding office in a campus organization Leadership role for a large campus event Leadership role in a professional organization Competitions representing SBC/campus Speaking on behalf of SBC or campus
