Leadership in Action Institute (Day)

Classes will be academically challenging and will focus on enhancing and expanding participants’ awareness and interest in the greater society.  At the same time, students will be given maximum opportunity and will be nurtured in the course of applying theories and concepts to their particular interests.  Participants will meet each day with their assigned primary instructor to explore solutions to local, national and global issues through case studies. They will be encouraged to consider the implications of their decisions—political, ethical, and social. During the afternoon caucus, participants and staff will meet together for further dialogue and discussions of the topics. To enhance their experience, guest speakers will be invited to address the participants. This two-week workshop will give participants the tools, the encouragement, and the freedom to explore their interests in the community and larger world around them with confidence and a sense of belonging. Our learning environment will be supportive, inspiring, and interactive.
