  • To receive a Leadership Fellowship and be selected as a member of Spirit Squads

I understand that if I am selected to be a Spirit Squad member, I will have to read and agree to the Spirit Squad contract and abide by the terms of the Fellowship agreement.

I understand that being a member of one of the Spirit Squads is a major personal commitment of my non-academic time, and it will be considered a priority over other non-academic activities. The time commitment is for a full year (typically June to May) and includes activities throughout the summer and over winter break.
