Leadership Development
The mission of the Office of Leadership Development
is to provide educational and experiential opportunities
to help students develop leadership skills that can be
used beyond their college years. Our goals are to reach
out to students who are not elected or appointed to a
formal leadership position (i.e. club officer); to encourage
students to think and reflect on their leadership
experiences and to see how those experiences fit into
and work with their plans and goals for the future; and
to develop reflective, committed, civic-minded, ethical
leaders for today and tomorrow.
The Office of Leadership Development organizes events
and programs that are open to the entire student body,
including student clubs and organizations. Past programs
have included one-day Leadership Conferences and
semester-long Leadership Workshop Series.
