WELCOME TO THE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
The Leadership Development Series from the Social Sciences Academic Resource Center (SSARC) exposes students to the various topics in academic leadership studies. SSARC Associate Director, Andrew Gonzales, will assist students in examining the variables, conditions, styles, and levels of analysis of practical leadership in today's organizations. Guest lecturers will also visit throughout the year to provide insight into their current research and practice. This developmental series transforms students into positive change agents in their organizations, groups, and future professions.
About Us
The purpose of the Leadership Development Series is to equip students with the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively develop their own leadership skills. We empower students with opportunities to exercise their leadership skills through practical exercises, individual reflections and group-based activities. In addition, we encourage students in their pursuit of leadership development through feedback and discussion, dialogue and mentorship and leadership certification.
Our hope is to transform students into confident, capable, and caring leaders within their community and chosen career fields.
