The Level-Up to Lead (L2L) Initiative is a DMS signature skill development program, designed to help Aggies grow as leaders, collaborators, and problem-solvers. Through workshops, summits, and coaching, students build confidence and practical skills that prepare them for success during college and beyond.

L2L Journeys take this learning a step further by giving students the opportunity to earn official recognition of their leadership journey. These digital credentials verify growth across core competencies and can be shared with employers, graduate schools, and professional networks.

Two L2L Journeys

There are two journeys to L2L credentials: Leadership and Character

• The LEADERSHIP Credential requires a coaching session, any two workshops on each of the four levels, and culminates with a closing coaching session and reflection on learning and application.
• The CHARACTER Credential requires specific workshops on each of the four levels and culminates with a coaching wrap-up session and reflection on learning and application.

You can showcase your development through one or both of these journeys and receive a verifiable symbol of your growth, learning, and leadership impact.

Why Credentials Matter

Credentials matter in today’s world because they provide verifiable recognition of leadership and character development, connect learning to long-term goals, highlight skills employers and graduate programs value, and provide evidence of learning through consistent engagement, coaching, and reflection.

 L2L Journeys are one part of the larger L2L initiative, which also includes:

• L2L Summits – conference-style leadership events each semester.
• L2L Coaching – personalized, one-on-one development conversations with trained DMS staff.
• L2L Workshop Series – interactive and leveled series that builds skills step by step.

By participating in L2L Journeys, students demonstrate not only what they’ve learned, but how they’ve applied it, proving they are ready to lead with purpose at Texas A&M and beyond.
