- Interested in developing your leadership skills beyond participating in just one workshop?
- Already involved on campus?
- Looking to develop your skills for a future leadership role?
- Want to network with other UNCW students?
Earn a Leadership UNCW Certificate in ...
- Personal Leadership
- Civic and Community Engagement
- Fraternity and Sorority Leadership
- Health Professions Leadership
- Organizational Leadership
- Outdoor Adventure Leadership
- Sport Club Leadership
All certificates have a common set of requirements that include:
ELECTIVE WORKSHOPS
Any workshop can count as an elective (or "additional workshop of your choice") for a certificate, with the exception of the Leadership Concepts workshop since this is required for all certificates. For example, a workshop required for the Organizational Leadership Certificate (i.e. Conflict Management) can count as an elective workshop toward completing the Civic and Community Engagement Certificate.
WRITTEN REFLECTIONS
Reflections should be 200-300 words in length, written in paragraph form, and address:
- what you learned from participating in the specific workshop
- what you plan to do in the future to apply what was learned during the workshop
Submit completed reflections via email to Jenn Smist, either in the text of the email or as an attachment.
There is no deadline for completing written reflections, though it is suggested that you complete them within two weeks of each workshops. You will not complete the requirements and earn a certificate without written reflections on file for each workshop attended.
REQUIRED WORKSHOPS
The required workshops vary for each certificate. Spring 2008 dates are noted below - more are being added, so check back soon for additional dates.
