Leadership Certificate offer students the opportunity to earn non-credit certification in a range of leadership and management topics. Topics range from Emerging CANES to multicultural competencies, but vary on an annual basis to address student need. Participants complete a series of thematic workshops and other requirements specific to the certificate. Building progressively on one another, students are able to achieve different levels of certification based on certificates completed.
Two Certificates will be offered this spring as a "pilot program" Group Dynamics & Interpersonal Communication Skills for Leaders.
Note that registration for the certificate programs is closed, however- a limited number of students will be allowed to attend some of the workshops. Click here for more information. Please check back in May 2008 for information about the Fall 2008 Certificates.
