Application Invitation Letter

The Selection Process:

The application and selection process is an important part of the PLP experience.  Each February, sophomores and juniors from all academic disciplines are invited to submit a resume, cover letter, and a completed faculty/professional recommendation form.  In addition the primary tool for applicant review is a comprehensive interview during which students must persuasively illustrate what they expect to achieve from the PLP and also what they, as a participant would offer the program and other participants.

If you are a graduate student and interested in programs similar to the professional leadership program, please email Catherine Persoon, persoc@rpi.edu for the Professional Leadership Series.
