Honors Seminar 201

Catalog description

This Honors Seminar introduces students to Dr. Crawford's X principles of Leadership, emphasizing applied techniques and principles critical to leadership across a range of professional organizations. Students will present information and research related to the X Principles and lead group discussions to critically engage with the principles and their application. Students will write reflectively on each week's content and present their personal leadership plan. Secondary goals for the course include developing students' skills in research, group presentations, and identifying contexts/opportunities for volunteerism and bringing their learning outside of the classroom setting. A tertiary purpose of the course is to assist them in aligning their new learning to the Leadership Manifesto they've created in Honors Seminar One. At our Honors Research Symposium, students will present/display their learning by means of posters, visual rhetoric, and other current modes of delivery. Students will also supplement these projects with a written compilation of their learning and experience, based in part on their reflective journals. The expectation is that this final written product is composed such that it offers a seamless reading experience with a central thesis regarding the X principles of leadership and the students' plans to exemplify the principles.
