Leadership

Leadership involves the role and process of groups of individuals working towards visions, goals, or change on campus or in the community. A leader does not have to have a position of authority.

Important elements of this professional competency: Education, training, development, and engagement.

Evidence of Individual Proficiency

In the course "Administration in CSP," we were put into teams in order to develop a professional development training.

The first took place at Arkansas Tech University at the Women's Leadership Conference in 2016; the next occurred at the University of Arkansas - Fort Smith for the Greek leadership conference in 2017. The interactive presentation provided students with an opportunity to identify their personal values and perspectives in order to create goals and identify opportunities for growth and development.
