The Chancellor's Scholars Program is a mentorship and leadership development program for students who are recipients of the prestigious Chancellor's Scholarship. The UCSD Emeriti Association and the Center for Student Involvement - Communication and Leadership collaborate in a partnership to develop and deliver this program to some of the brightest individuals on campus. An overwhelming number of Chancellor's Scholars are first-generation college students who, among other requirements, must maintain a 3.0 grade point average to maintain the award. Scholars benefit from faculty mentoring from the UCSD Emeriti Mentor Program and Faculty Mentoring Program, peer mentoring with upper-division Chancellor's Scholars, ongoing leadership and professional skill development, social and community service activities with other Chancellor's Scholars, and exposure to student resources and involvement opportunities. Since 2009, a main focus of the Chancellor's Scholars Program has been improving students' interpersonal and public speaking skills through activities and instruction during weekly meetings. The Chancellor's Scholars Program, in partnership with the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership, prepares scholars all throughout the year to become leaders, teaching key skills for professional development. Students are also provided with writing support from both their emeritus mentors and the UC San Diego Writing & Communications Hub.
