The Certificate in Leadership and Service is designed to enhance the interpersonal skills of students through an interdisciplinary approach to the study and practice of leadership. Students will gain experience in leadership in personal, team, organizational and community contexts. Courses to complete the certificate will provide students with the opportunity to work in groups, develop skills in communication and critical thinking, practice skills in decision making and problem solving, and serve in leadership roles in their college, campus organizations, or community.
The program is a collaborative effort among multiple colleges and campus units, including the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, the College of Family and Consumer Sciences, the Warnell School of Forest Resources, the Mary Frances Early College of Education, Student Affairs, and other units who are working to incorporate leadership and service components in their courses. Therefore, the certificate allows students maximum flexibility in designing a plan of work to target their particular interests and developmental needs.
