We encourage students to explore, imagine, experiment, and invent in order to build skills in critical thinking and innovation. PLC believes agility and excellence in implementation do justice to ideas, relationships and intentions.PLC students are pushed to seek the relentless practice of these implementation skills - mindfully scrutinizing the way they carry out plans, how their skills are put to use, and the outcomes that result from taking action. Through the PLC experiential curriculum we emphasize active participation in leadership experiences in order to build the confidence and creativity it takes to make needed change in organizations, communities, and the world.

We encourage the future success of our scholars by instructing them in the skills and knowledge necessary for personal and professional development. Personal growth demands courage to take risks, discipline to persevere, and the humility to learn from others as well as from your own failures. The concerted effort to enable and allow ourselves to be engaged leaders not only serves our communities but rewards us with passionate, fulfilling lives. Additionally, we celebrate our alumni that continue their leadership into their professional careers, making significant contributions to their communities. Current students are exposed to our alumni to expand their network and increase future success and opportunity.

We are anchored by a call to lead through service. We believe in leadership that serves a purpose greater than oneself, and in leaders who practice empathy and humility. Service is not a count of hours but a state of mind and a way of life. A commitment to serve is not for your resumé, but for your leadership development. PLC develops leaders to make sustainable change and lasting impacts on every level through service to others. Public service opportunities are transformational and encourage PLCers to reflect on their place and responsibilities in this world. Service opportunities expose PLCers to different perspectives and help to create leaders who understand the challenges facing their communities.
