This course takes students through an exploration of leadership and students’ roles and responsibilities as active citizens. It achieves this goal through an extensive examination of self, working with and understanding others, and ultimately, creating positive change in one’s community. The course provides the critical elements of analytical and intellectual thought and careful examination and reflection of core issues in the practice of leadership. These objectives will be achieved through open discussion, self-assessment, experimental exercises, and analytical observation of real-life leadership practice.

Prerequisite(s): Leadership 238 is a required course for students looking to hold student leader positions on campus (e.g. Resident Advisor, Peer Mentor, Summer Bridge Leader, Summer Orientation Leader, etc.). All SSU students are eligible to take the course regardless of campus leadership opportunities.
