Frequently Asked Questions

How will the IMPACT program be affected by the coronavirus pandemic?

The 2022-2023 IMPACT program will take place in-person. These plans are be subject to public health guidelines. If necessary, the program can be pivoted to an online format.

How many students are accepted into each IMPACT Leadership Program cohort?

A maximum of 25 students will be accepted to the IMPACT Leadership Program in each cohort. Students are welcome to apply a second time if their application is not initially accepted. 

How can I increase my odds of acceptance into the IMPACT 2022-2023 cohort?

While we wish that we could offer the IMPACT experience to all students who apply, unfortunately space in the program is limited. Applications are scored using a rubric, which looks at the depth of reflection in your answers. Answering each question thoughtfully and reflectively will increase your odds of acceptance. 

Do I need to be available for the all the workshops and events in the program? 

Students are asked to attend all the workshops and events in the IMPACT program. The dates are provided for you in advance of the program in order to facilitate planning and avoid conflict. Attending all workshops and events will ensure maximum benefit from the IMPACT Program. However, if extenuating circumstances arise, participants are invited to discuss these with the Program Coordinator and request modifications. 

Can I expect to see development in my leadership skills from the IMPACT Program?

There will be plenty of opportunities for you to reflect on, articulate, and practice your leadership skills in the IMPACT program. Developing leadership skills is a process, and these skills are continually refined as we journey through life. IMPACT is an invitation to explore who you are, what you care about, and how you can step up to engage with the world in a positive way. 

Do I need to have any prior knowledge before beginning the IMPACT Leadership Program?

All students are invited to apply for the IMPACT program. An understanding of environmental and social justice issues provides a good foundation for discussion. 

How are the community placements organized for student participants? 

The Program Coordinator will be working to secure community placements for students over the summer. A list of placement opportunities be provided to students in the fall, and students will rank their top three preferences. The Program Coordinator will do their best to match students with a placement of interest.
