Winifred R. Legerton, a senior faculty member at the Center for Creative Leadership , has been named the university's first Visiting Professor of Leadership. The faculty position was established in collaboration with the Greensboro-based Center for Creative Leadership to further encourage and educate undergraduates as leaders. Legerton will teach two undergraduate courses each semester. By collaborating with the Center for Creative Leadership, our students will have access to some of the leading theory and practice in the field of leadership development. The center, known for its leadership training programs and leadership research, views the professorship as a natural extension of its work.
Skilled leaders are in great demand in every field, in every organization and in every community.
