Theories of leadership are discussed and students are led through exercises which help them understand and apply the theories. High profile community leaders serve as guest lecturers, while journals and small group discussions help students get the most out of their class experience. The training room in the LRC will be home to a regular series of workshops which will offer skills training to student leaders. In addition, a training session for faculty advisors to student organizations will be offered each semester. The experiential exercises and thought-provoking discussions form a basis for students leadership development, and the friendships begun at Teamwork generate rich collaboration among student groups.
Registration is limited and there is a modest fee for participants.
Student organizations will be able to request staff and PLE design and facilitation of programs tailored specifically to the needs of their organizations. These can be offered in the LRC or at the organization's meeting or retreat site. Targeted student organizations would include Associated Students, Inc., fraternities and sororities, and multicultural student organizations. Contact the LRC at 985-1936.
