Leadership Service Learning (Required Add-on Component)
This course studies leadership and leadership development. At the center of the course is a service learning project that is done in collaboration with the Center for Public Service. Each student will lead a team in doing a service project in the community. Students are responsible or defining the mission, recruiting and motivating a team, formulating and executing a plan, and assessing the results of their efforts. In tandem with the service projects, we will focus our class meetings on various aspects of leadership. Theories and practical advice about leadership will be analyzed. In addition, students will take several leadership assessments and receive feedback about their leadership styles. Students should leave the course with a greater understanding of challenges of leadership, knowledge about research on leadership, practical experience doing leadership, and an increased awareness of their own leadership styles.
