EDU 128 Leadership: An Act of Service

This course will provide inspiration and encouragement after students’ first term in college.   Students will have the opportunity to explore the relationship between leadership and service while examining  how others have become active citizens within their college, local, state, national, and/or global communities.  They will develop and implement a personal leadership growth plan and service project.  Specific literature on leadership, social service, and activism will be analyzed.  Questions such as the following will be discussed: What are the characteristics of an effective leader? How is service related to leadership? What is involved in becoming an activist? What can I do to become a leader? Who are the leaders in my field of interest?
