MOSAIC
Making good on our commitment to a welcoming and inclusive community
MOSAIC’s mission is to cultivate spaces where social consciousness develops, connections deepen, and diverse understandings are shared. We are committed to shaping a future grounded in community and belonging. Together, we can create the world we want to see.
The Emerging Leaders Program
This program, housed in MOSAIC, offers first- and second-year students an opportunity to belong to a community of future leaders. Through this program, students who have demonstrated leadership potential and interest in civic engagement, critical dialogue, and social change participate in an academically focused cohort.
Since its inception, the Emerging Leaders program has been rooted in “intentional advising,” which provides coordinated, coaching-style advising by highly trained faculty advisors, staff mentors, and peer mentors. Successful cohort initiatives like Emerging Leaders are grounded in social psychology and student affairs research, which show time and again how providing a sense of belonging and multi-faceted support for students enhances their likelihood of success.
The Emerging Leaders program, which began at Muhlenberg in 2009, endorses excellence and leadership throughout the college experience. Bolstered in the fall of 2024 by a $250,000 grant from the American Talent Initiative, the Emerging Leaders program will soon include a pre-college program for high school students, increase faculty involvement, and strengthen the program’s leadership development component.
