Cleveland, Humanities, Collaboration: Leadership Values and Skills

Catalog description

How do the humanities shape leadership values? How can the next generation of humanities leaders make the values of diversity and sustainability more central to their organizations? In this one-credit experiential engagement course, students reflect on these questions through a combination of seminar readings and direct conversations with former humanities students who are now in leadership positions at museums, corporations, nonprofits, and community organizations. Over the course of the semester, the students also work collaboratively to broaden their own leadership skills, including through networking, informational interviews, public speaking, career benchmarks, and short writing assignments. Over the course of the semester, students will: - Critically examine the role of the humanities in shaping leadership values - Present their expertise confidently through both live and pre-recorded formats - Explain their social and intellectual values in succinct and engaging ways - Work as teams to network in support of their individual postgraduate goals Prereq: Successful completion of FSTS 100 or SAGES First Seminar.
