President's Leadership Program
Christopher Newport University equips great leaders for the 21st century.
The President’s Leadership Program (PLP) is not just an academic program. At heart, we are a community determined to better understand ourselves, how we work with others and the impact we can have in the world.
Through a combination of academic study, experiential learning and personal development, PLP will prepare you for a life of leadership, service and civic responsibility.
Over the course of four years, students in PLP become:
Actively engaged citizens committed to improving your community
Women and men of strong character and integrity who embrace personal accountability, meaningful relationships and a strong work ethic
Effective leaders who successfully combine self-exploration, critical reflection and leadership theory in an ever-changing global society
The PLP has impacted my experience at CNU in many facets; however, I have seen the most personal growth in my community outreach skills. I have been able to establish a strong commitment to volunteer work.
Abby Asuncion
Class of 2023
PLP is a living lesson that leadership can be taught, and reinforces the idea that we should always strive to be curious, deepen our learning and rise to the challenge that is leading and following in the 21st century.

Class of 2021
To have someone actively listen, learn and care for me fostered my own growth as a servant leader. PLP taught me the importance of being a servant leader which is how I choose to lead my team today.

Class of 2013
This is one of the best undergraduate leadership programs in the U.S. It has strong support from the administration, a sizable and dedicated faculty, and motivated students.
