SOMN offers Leadership University to athletes once a year at a Minnesota college or university.
Leadership University is a one-of-a-kind event where athletes choose what leadership topic they would like to grow in and receive innovative training to get athletes where they want to go.

General sessions are included at Leadership University, these sessions include guest speakers, learning how to be an athlete representative, the history of ALPs and other pertinent information.
