2025 SUMMER LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

Experience AMU at our fourth Annual Summer Leadership Program June 22-27, 2025! We’re looking for rising high school juniors and seniors who are academically driven and committed to growing in their faith to spend a week with us on campus, exploring what life is like at Our Lady’s University. During your time at Called Higher, you’ll experience the life of an AMU student firsthand: a liberal arts education rooted in the Truth, enhanced by frequent access to the Sacraments, and encouraged by an authentic Catholic community. Learn how Ave Maria is committed to excellence of the mind, heart, and soul.

The AMU Summer Leadership Program was an eventful experience. I was able to make many new friends while experiencing life on campus. I learned a lot and made many fun memories.
