Learn to Lead with PRIDE!

Looking to enhance your leadership skills? Then I have the perfect program for you! The Office of Student Leadership and Activities has launched a new initiative called the P.R.I.D.E. A-La-Carte Leadership Workshops program. This program allows students to choose from a variety of workshops centered around the P.R.I.D.E. Principles to help them develop their leadership skills. Multiple workshops are offered throughout the academic year, and in order to complete the series, each participant must attend five workshops (one workshop for each principle) and two leadership programs over the course of the year. As a result of student feedback and assessment, these workshops are scheduled on different days and at various times. This is to accommodate as many students’ schedules as possible. Graduates of the P.R.I.D.E. program will receive a certificate of completion and will be entered into a drawing to attend a leadership conference of their choice (guidelines will apply).

This past fall semester we kicked off the program by hosting four workshops and this spring we have ten more workshops for you to choose from! This past Monday, February 6, was the first workshop for the spring semester and it was a great success! The topic of the workshop was “Failure IS an Option” where we discussed that failure is inevitable and thus in order to be great leaders we must learn to embrace it and learn from it. Students opened up and shared their own failures that they have had to overcome and it was one of our best workshops yet. This semester we have a lot of great presenters lined up including faculty and higher administration, so don’t miss out! You do not need to be a part of the larger program to attend a workshop.

Below are the remaining spring workshops. Make sure to take advantage of this great leadership and resume-building opportunity. See you there!
