The courses further provide the opportunity to develop essential leadership skills through study and observation of the application of those skills. Topics covered in the courses are introduced through readings from the Phi Theta Kappa Leadership Development Program text. Admission is competitive because of the limited number of openings in the class each semester. The admission process to the courses requires a special application and recommendations from faculty members. Questions about the course should be directed to the Dean of Student Development or a Phi Theta Kappa advisor.
Students cover all aspects of college life in the creation of the publication.
Photography, design, copywriting, and technical production are all components of production which students learn through participating in a publishing environment. Additionally, students are actively involved in the marketing of the book. Prospective staff members should contact The Oak Leaf sponsor for more information.
