Participants are encouraged to explore personal direction and creed, work in groups, and develop goals for their involvement at Longwood, both in and out of the classroom. The institute is offered to students desiring to improve their leadership ability. This program consists of a series of interactive workshops which take place monthly throughout the academic year. During each program, students are provided information on a variety of leadership topics, such as developing presentation skills, event planning, persuasive speaking, resume building, and networking techniques.
