During this time a variety of workshops are conducted that address topics related to leadership. Attendance at every session is required and the students are also expected to complete assignments between each session. These assignments have the students participate in student organizations meetings, attend other programs and vote in student government elections. Participants gain insight into their preferred style of leadership through a survey and discuss how the different styles can complement the others. This is valuable to know when teams are developed.
Participants discuss what ethical standards they use in the decision making process.
They also share dilemmas they encounter and participate in a case study that provides an opportunity to make decisions based on ethical principles. Students learn how to organize and run meetings and how to plan programs effectively. Meeting management includes the ability to delegate and foster accountability in others. Participants learn appropriate methods of working with members of the faculty, staff, and administration. They also learn about group dynamics and how their personal style can complement or hinder their ability to work with others.
