Leadership for Change

Leadership for Change

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world” — Mahatma Gandhi

A BRAND NEW CAMPUS-WIDE INITIATIVE FOR LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT!

Mission

Leadership for Change encourages an inside-out development process to enhance the way each participant view themselves, the Vassar Community, and the world beyond. Consisting of a series of workshops, this cross-campus initiative strives to foster leadership skills of emerging leaders as well as current leaders to develop their abilities to become effective change agents. Participants will engage in a track-based series of workshops designed to enhance skill and promote personal development.

Target Audience

Any Vassar student is invited to join one or more of the tracks associated with this program. We especially encourage involvement among students who are interested in self development and leadership skill training. This would include current student leaders, and/or students who may be interested in taking on leadership roles in the future.

Program Details

The program may be completed as an individual or as a student organization with at least one representative from each group attending the workshops. Successful completion of the tracks will require attendance at six or more sessions, including all the mandatory sessions for the track.
