iLead is a year-long leadership program that features 25+ workshops per quarter centered around personal and professional development. These workshops are available to all UC San Diego students. Check out our schedule for this quarter and start your leadership journey today!
What is iLead
iLead is a drop-in workshop program open to all UC San Diego students. Each quarter we offer a new schedule of workshops where students have the flexibility to choose sessions that align with their interests and schedule. Students receive a digital stamp for each workshop session they attend. Any student can drop-in and participate in our workshops, but we do encourage students to register for the iLead program.
Our goal is to provide students with engaging, low-pressure opportunities to develop skills that complement their personal, academic, and professional pursuits. iLead fosters community building by connecting students from different backgrounds who may not have had the opportunity to interact otherwise and also introduces students to various staff members, departments, and resources across campus.

FAQ
Q: Are iLead workshops virtual or in person?
A: iLead offers in-person and virtual workshops. For in person workshops, the location is listed on the schedule and flyers. For virtual workshops, you will need to register to receive the Zoom link. Registration links are included on the schedule and flyers.
Q: Do I need to attend all of the iLead workshops to complete the program?
A: No. You can attend any session that aligns with your interests and schedule.
Q: Can I roll-over any stamps from the last academic year to this academic year?
A: No. Unfortunately, iLead is a one academic year-long program. For example, Fall 2024 to Spring 2025.
Q: Do I need to track my workshop attendance and stamps?
A: No. Our team tracks your attendance. Sign in with our team at the start of each workshop to ensure you receive a digital stamp. Students must stay for the duration of the workshop to receive a stamp.
Q: Why do some workshops on the schedule say "join" and others say "register?"
A: Some of the iLead workshops are hosted by other departments, so you will just join without needing to register through us. There will be a C&L team member to introduce the workshop as part of our iLead program and will keep track of the attendance of participants.
Q: What if I attended an iLead workshop and did not receive a digital stamp?
A: Please email our team at ccl@ucsd.edu and inform us you are missing a stamp. Be sure to include the workshop details such as event name, date, and time.
