LEADERSHIP PROGRAMMING
The Office of Student Organizations and Activities offers a wide variety of ways
for students to explore individual leadership skills and grow as a leader within
their organization and on campus. Below are leadership programming
opportunities relevant for student organizations.
CLIFTONSTRENGTHS WORKSHOPS
Discovering your talents and building your strengths are key to enhancing your
skills as a leader. The CliftonStrengths workshops are designed to help students
understand their own top 5 Strengths and explore their personal talents. The
workshop will discuss what you already do well and how you can use your
Strengths to build your leadership. These workshops can be one-on-one or
delivered to a group. A workshop request form can be found on BBNvolved.
SEMESTERLY LEADERSHIP WORKSHOPS
Each semester, the Office of Student Organizations and Activities works with
campus partners to provide a workshop series that cover a variety of topics
including conflict resolution, resiliency, and leadership development. These
workshops are relevant for current and up-and-coming student leaders. Each
workshops is inside the Gatton Student Center and has a meal provided. Look
