Leadership Weekend
Program Overview
Leadership Weekend 2022 will be held Friday, February 25 from 3–7:30 p.m. ET and Saturday, February 26 from 9:30 a.m.–7:30 p.m. ET. The event, which is sponsored by the Leading Social Change Fund and hosted by Leadership Engagement and Experiential Development (LEED) in partnership with Student Conduct and the Center for Health Education and Well-Being (CHEW), seeks to:
- Engage 49 undergraduate students in leadership learning;
- Enhance participants’ leadership identity and leadership capacity; and
- Increase participants’ approach to leadership in the direction of purposeful, collaborative, and values-based process, that results in positive social change.
Leadership Weekend curriculum focuses on:
- Awareness and recognition of individual strengths and the ways they contribute to the leadership process;
- Acknowledgment and celebration of participants’ capacity to change systems and lead the change they wish to see in the world;
- Naming and understanding current leadership understanding and how to plan for continued learning and progress.
Our theme, Discover the Leader in You, seeks to inspire students to embark on a journey of self-discovery and to approach their development with courage and curiosity.
