Leadership Day 2026: Discovering the Leader Within

You Don't Need a Title to Be a Leader!

On October 21, 2026, 33 Santa Ana College students came together for the inaugural Leadership Day, a FREE, interactive experience designed to help students recognize their leadership potential, build confidence, and discover opportunities to grow as leaders on campus and beyond.

 Through engaging activities, leadership workshops, and inspiring conversations with student leaders, participants discovered how their everyday experiences, in the classroom, at work, and at home, are already helping them develop valuable leadership skills.

Leadership Day Highlights

Throughout the event, students had opportunities to:

  • Discover Their Leadership: Recognize personal strengths and leadership skills they already use in everyday life.

  • Explore the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership®: Learn practical behaviors that help leaders inspire, collaborate, and create positive change.
