The First-Year 领导的挑战 is a co-curricular experience offered during the month of January that prompts students to identify their leadership strengths and position themselves for success at 澳门新葡京官网. The challenge introduces leadership practices and commitments relevant for campus involvement. 这是学生发展办公室和克鲁拉克研究所共同努力的结果, 挑战将活动与反思性自我评估结合起来.

The Challenge does not have homework and meets from 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays during E-Term.

我如何参与挑战?

教师, staff, and upper class students nominate first-year students to participate. 报名将于11月中旬开始. Nominees and all those interested complete a short online registration form available on ENGAGE. 如果你想参加，请教授提名你.

The Hess Fellows Program matches students with nonprofit agencies for intensive summer internships. 实习的重点要么是倡导，要么是贫困, 并向在学院学习的二年级和三年级的学生开放. Students in these internships participate as full members of their assigned agencies. 倡导实习生通过开展研究帮助建立组织能力, 促进联盟, 领导社区外展计划, 组织游说活动, 协调基层运动. Anti-poverty interns learn about the multiple dimensions of poverty through a variety of projects that strengthen impoverished communities across the country. Anti-poverty internships are made possible through a partnership with the Shepherd Higher Education Consortium on Poverty (SHECP), a consortium of more than 20 schools with programs focused on understanding and ending poverty.

领导 studies designated courses support the 区别在 领导的研究 program. 教师 can develop and offer leadership studies designated courses in any discipline. 如果你有兴趣开发一门课程, 请联系杰出领导力研究项目主任.

如何开设一门领导力研究的指定课程?

• 确定课程. Think about a new or existing course that you would like to have incorporate leadership and leadership questions. Build on your own expertise and consider how your work might overlap with leadership issues and topics. Designated courses assist students in thinking about leadership from different disciplines.
• 申请资助. The Krulak研究所 offers course development summer stipends for the development of leadership studies courses. If you would like support in reading and researching about leadership in your area, 你可以通过暑期津贴项目获得资助. 教务长办公室每年春天都会发出征求建议书的请求.
• 解决领导. 指定课程应该以某种方式解决领导力问题. 请记住，领导力的概念可能会有所不同. It can refer to: individual leaders and their influence on followers; a social process involving multiple actors and groups; a formal position occupied by various individuals; or the instigation and mobilization of change. 你的课程不需要遵循任何特定的方向.
• 制定任务. Require DLS students to complete an assignment or project related to the study or practice of leadership. 例如, all students might complete an assignment related to the leadership; DLS program students might complete a modified assignment for the course that addresses leadership; or DLS students might complete an additional assignment that addresses leadership.
• 告诉学生. Indicate on your syllabus and in the course catalog that the course can be used to fulfill requirements in the 区别在 领导的研究 Program. Doing so will help students see the relationship between your course and other courses that address leadership.
