From course work and experiential opportunities to community service and peer helping positions, a student can pick and choose from the many options. Coursework lays the foundations of leadership development.
Practical experience provides the framework by which leadership theory is put to use.
By linking theory to practice, growth and maturity are fostered, thereby preparing students to enter the professional world well-equipped with strong values and honed skills. One such example of linking coursework and experience is the Peer Leadership program within Enrollment and Student Academic Services. From Freshman Orientation and Freshman Seminar to academic advising and tutorials, ESAS programs strive to improve student satisfaction with the college experience. ESAS is a natural home for leadership opportunities in the form of paid positions, designed to guide other students in creating a successful college experience. ESAS programs and staff are supported by student leaders who share the commitment to student retention and graduation.
