This course will introduce students to leadership theories and principles, focusing primarily on the Social Change Model. Skills such as strategic planning, visioning, conflict resolution and communication will be reviewed in the context of sustainability and applied to environmental case studies relevant to Pace. Opportunities will be provided for students to meet with local environmental leaders from the government, corporation and non-profits, and students will also be introduced to leadership resources offered by Pace Law School. This course will culminate with action-based team projects in which students apply their newfound skills to mobilizing sustainability efforts on the Pleasantville campus.
