The President’s Cabinet Scholars program is an elite leadership initiative designed to prepare students for success in their careers, communities and civic life. This highly selective program provides an opportunity for students to learn directly from some of the most influential leaders in the state and nation — members of the President’s Cabinet, a group of high-achieving business and community leaders who support UA.
The program will cultivate principled, prepared and purpose-driven graduates equipped to lead in an increasingly complex world. Scholars will participate in curated leadership seminars, professional development workshops, executive-level discussions and personal mentorship opportunities.
