Upcoming One-Time Leadership Workshops |

DiSC Behavior Styles on September 13 at 4:30 p.m.
The most successful leaders are keenly self-aware and have the ability to effectively adjust their styles to meet the demands of their different roles. DiSC profiles help us identify a leader's preferred behavioral style; think of it as a road map showing how a leader is likely to show up in different situations. We can predict how they tend to do things, such as lead others, make decisions, and communicate.

Interest for the Alternative Service Break Program |
|
We're excited to begin planning for 2021-2022 Alternative Service Break experiences!
The Alternative Service Break (ASB) program is a unique learning experience in which students engage in direct service to a community while being immersed in the culture. Teams are led by student team-leaders and accompanied by faculty or staff advisors.
Each team spends extensive time prior to travel doing team-building, planning for their experience, and studying the scope of their impact in the communities they will engage with. Throughout their travels, team members participate in a variety of cultural, educational, recreational, and reflective activities to enhance their service experience.
