Socially Conscious Leadership for Community Engagement

Catalog description

Leadership demands intention, commitment, and purposeful action. As a member of a global society that strives to be inclusive and sustaining, leaders in every field must consider their role in identifying and solving community challenges. Varied perspectives must be considered for understanding of a challenge to be developed, and actions to be implemented. Collaborating with other colleagues in class and a socially conscious community leader, the student will create an action research project that will be initiated in 812, and completed in 814. The expectation is for the student to develop their inner socially conscious leader and with involvement in the action research project. Working in conjunction with a community leader who embodies socially conscious leadership and provides modeling of skills, the student will develop a communication plan that speaks to the needs of the stakeholders to be involved in the project for sustainability to occur.
