About the CAL

The Center for the Advancement of Leadership was designed to advance leadership education and training for students of all ages.

While many colleges and universities seek to provide leadership education for various academic departments on campus, there are few, if any, that seek to spread leadership throughout their their communities.

Utah Valley University seeks to be the first center of its kind within the U.S. to directly or indirectly support programming at five programming levels:

From the Know Greater Heroes Program offered by the Department of Athletics (K-6th), to the Why Try Program that serves our local junior high schools, from the Concurrent Enrollment program and Annual Leadership Conference which serves more than 4,000 high school students per year to our customized 10-step and 3-step certification programs for every degree on campus. And finally with a Virtual Leadership Academy in place to offer students, faculty, staff, and the local business & civic community with best-in-class leadership education, The Center for the the Advancement of Leadership was designed to be a thought leader in the advancement of leadership, recognizing the leadership, within any Meaningful Life Arena, starts with self, extends through our social relationships, moves into our organizations, and is vital for the development of our communities.

Whether you are interested simply in being a better you or whether you want to be more successful within your personal and professional arenas, we can help.
