The Susan Cunningham Science Leadership Academy will provide meaningful opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to grow as science leaders and create science leadership community by connecting students of various levels, backgrounds, and stages of their personal and academic development.

The Academy is fully funded and open to undergraduate and graduate students in the Faculty of Science at McMaster University. The Academy is designed specifically for aspiring and emerging leaders who are on the start of their leadership journey. No previous leadership experience is required – just a willingness to learn.

In our Faculty of Science, we believe that:

Leadership is a skill that can be learned and developed

Every student has leadership potential

Even established student leaders have room to grow

Now more than ever, the world needs scientists who lead
