Leadership Corps
Lead, serve and grow as a public health professional
The Ensign Leadership Corps gives students real leadership experience by planning and delivering public health services on campus and in the community.
As part of the curriculum, students complete 30 hours of service each semester within and beyond the Ensign community. Each student identifies an area of interest and serves in ways that build leadership skills, enrich their academic experience, and advance the vision and mission of Ensign Global University.

The ability to take initiative and lead programs and projects is one of the key competencies that will make you successful in your public health career.
Why leadership matters
Leadership is essential to success in public health. That is why Ensign Global University created the Leadership Corps: to help students gain hands-on experience and real-world leadership skills that complement their studies and prepare them to become effective public health leaders.
Through a series of institutional initiatives, members explore and deliver leadership experiences — from starting new activities to delivering public health services in the community.
How the program works
Every member receives training to become a knowledgeable representative of Ensign Global University, with opportunities for learning and leadership development that align with their academic and career interests.
