What is the Medallion Program?
The Medallion Program is the University of Rochester's premiere leadership development program that encourages students on their leadership development journeys through workshops, interactive activities, and personal reflection to assist you in developing leadership capabilities!
How do I participate?
You can start by filling out the Enrollment Form and begin attending workshops! The full requirements for the program along with registration instructions can be found on the Medallion Program website.
How do I view my progress?
After you enroll, you will be added as a member of the Medallion Program on CCC. Once you are added, you will then have access to the 'Medallion Program Checklist' located under 'My Checklists' on the left hand side-bar of your home page, under 'My Activity Menu'. This will allow you to view workshops that are available under each item and states clearly what your next steps will be!
What do the levels mean?
Each level of the program corresponds to different aspects of leadership.
Can I complete two levels at the same time?
Yes! Levels 1 and 2 can be completed simultaneously, however, you must have completed Levels 1 and 2 prior to starting Level 3.
Can I get Medallion credit through a class or other program?
Yes! Certain classes or programs count towards certain aspects of the program. Please see the level one and level three pages on the Medallion Website for a listing of classes and programs that can be used to cover levels one and three. You can also reach out to us at medallion@rochester.edu if you would like us to consider substituting a course or program that you have participated in!
Where did the levels, domains, and program structure come from?
The 6 domains were developed from the CAS Standards, which indicate nationally-recognized leadership criteria that you should be able to demonstrate. The levels came from the Social Change Model of Leadership which explicitly promotes the values of equity, social justice, self-knowledge, personal empowerment, collaboration, citizenship, and service, providing a powerful vehicle for developing student leadership capabilities in a collaborative environment!
What are the domains?
You can read more about each domain on our Medallion CCC webpage.
How do I know a workshop is Medallion eligible?
You can consult the Medallion Program CCC Events Page for upcoming workshops or the monthly newsletter for a full list of all eligible workshops!
What is the Medallion Leadership Society?
The Medallion Leadership Society is an undergraduate group of students that has completed all 3 levels of the Medallion Program. Members lead workshops and encourage students to become engaged members of the campus and surrounding communities. Members in the Society will participate in committees, have opportunities to meet with deans, and plan leadership programs for the Office of the Dean of Students, among other perks!
