This looks like something I want to get involved with—what’s the

process to be a part of TLP?

1

Make sure you understand both the opportunity of the program and commitment necessary. Read through the information packet, come to an information session (Feb. 15, 12:30pm in the BBLC Lecture Hall), and discuss the program with your parents/ guardians, advisor, and other adult mentors.

2 Fill out the application and electronically submit it, per instructions, no later than Friday, March 13, 2023, 3:30 pm.

3 You will hear about acceptance into the program no later than Friday, March 24.

What are my responsibilities if I join TLP?

u Commit to being a part of a team. The social change model of leadership encourages you to step out of your comfort zone and to bring out the best of the others in your cohort.

u Attend and engage in a full-day leadership retreat on Sunday, August 20, 2023.

u Bring flexibility, a positive outlook, engagement, and commitment to your fall course and partner organization. Some days you will be off campus for the bulk of the day, some days will require more independent work, and some days will feel like “regular” class days. Be curious, open, and dedicated!

u Commit to a capstone project (senior project) that works to address a larger societal issue with people/organizations outside of MA. This includes following specific guidelines, including meeting with one of your TLP teachers during quarters 3 and 4 to make sure your project meets all capstone requirements.

u Give feedback at various times throughout the year and, if requested, share your experience and information about the program (at open houses, information sessions, etc.). Your voice and ideas are essential as we learn and evolve the program together. Your feedback will be used both in real time and in future iterations.
