Progress will be tracked by students being enrolled in the Bengal Stripes Leadership Program Blackboard class. This is where students will be able to submit assignments and track progress. Each level will be classified as a “badge” that students must complete to earn their certificate.
Students are welcome to take the workshops in any order at any time that fits their schedule. However, badges will only be awarded when the student has completed the required journal entries and action items.
Students will be required to complete the program within two years of their initial enrollment date. The goal of this requirement is to encourage students to make continuous progress within the program.
Students that have completed the certificate program will be honored at the Dean of Students annual Bengal Banquet.
