Operation Success is a leadership development program led through project development. This program is for students who would like to create change and become strong leaders where they stand. Students in the cohort, a.k.a. Success Fellows, will have the opportunity to identify a disparity within the community, nation, or abroad, and create a project, organization, or business that addresses that need.
