Welcome to the Leadership Minor!

Mission:

Through an interdisciplinary curriculum, the Leadership Minor program will provide each student with the opportunity to develop core knowledge about leadership within the larger context of social action and social change and to demonstrate leadership through written, oral, and field-based experiences.

Vision:

The Leadership Minor will be a high quality, interdisciplinary, multidimensional, experiential and multi/intercultural program that exposes undergraduates to, and prepares them for, real life leadership experiences. Students will explore issues of leadership, citizenship and social change within the context of an inquiry, experiential, and competency-based instructional design.

 

What's Happening?

Y-Immersion is a program that works to engage college students in a year-long project domestically or internationally in order to grow an awareness of social justice and environmental justice issues.

I started out in the 1000 level class and before I knew it I was working in the office, I was a TA for multiple classes and I was deep in my passion for understanding and improving the Leadership Minor. While working through the summer I was allowed to further my understanding of the history, processes and issues surrounding the Minor. At that point I became completely involved in the future of the Minor.  MORE
