Written Responses: Complete each of the following written responses. Keep it brief and real. Don’t be afraid to brag. We’ve kept the application fields short in order to encourage straightforward and authentic answers. Be confident and remember: You’ve got this!

Which of the world's "troubles" inspires you to act? How might your admittance in EmpowerMEnt prepare you to address it? (limit 175 words)

You can tie this response to community services activities, thoughts about empathy and individual responsibility. Why are you inspired to solve this problem? Why is it significant? This is an opportunity to demonstrate your values, critical thinking skills and creativity.

Discuss the most difficult feedback you've received. How did you address it? What did you learn from it? (limit 175 words)

Feedback isn't easy to hear. Describe the feedback you received. What made it difficult - what was said, who said it, who else heard it. Provide context. What did you learn from it? We can always improve. It's a sign of a great leader if you are willing to change.

What would you want your future college roommate to know about you? (limit 175 words)

What can you do today that you were not capable of a year ago? (limit 175 words)

Is there anything else you would like to share with the admissions committee?

Personal Video Statement: All applicants must submit a short video no longer than three minutes in length as part of the application process. Videos should include an introduction about yourself (be sure to include your full name, school, and grade). Give us your elevator pitch - your personal statement. What makes you unique? Why do you consider the leadership certificate program a good opportunity? Include your name, school, and grade in your video response (limit 3 minutes). Please upload your video to a video hosting service, like YouTube or Vimeo. Include the link and password (if applicable) below. Videos may be recorded on your phone or computer or with an external camera.

Video and Audio Tips:
Please film your video in a safe place and be especially mindful of local and national COVID-19 restrictions and safety protocols.
Film your video in a well-lit location, with the primary light source in front of you to illuminate your face, rather than behind you, which will cause silhouetting.
Film your video in a quiet space without background noises that might make your voice less audible. Avoid filming in loud, crowded, or windy places where your voice will echo and/or your microphone may be distorted.
Speak loudly and clearly, and review your video several times before submitting, making sure your voice is clear and can easily be heard.
