The LEAD Scholars Program provides current LEAD Scholars with leadership opportunities such as becoming part of the LEAD Week Staff. There are opportunities to lead a group of mentees as a Peer Mentor, actively participate in the first-year seminar courses with a seminar instructor as a Seminar Peer Educator, or the CTW courses as an English Peer Educator.

Leandra Couto
Leandra Couto
LEAD Week Assistant

Welcome! My name is Leandra Couto. I am from San Jose, California. I am a Senior studying Communication & Real Estate. My favorite class I've taken at SCU so far has been Gender, Health, and Sexuality with Dr. Laura Ellingson.

A few fun facts about me are I'm a dog mom to a beautiful lab-pit mix boy, I love the opportunities to visit my family in Brasil, and I am passionate about giving back to underserved communities.

In addition to LEAD, some other organizations I am involved in are: St. Clare Parish, Yacanex Community, and SCU's My Own Business Institute (MOBI) in the Leavey School of Business.

I am looking forward to meeting all of you!
