You will be able to:

Exercise civic leadership through a collaborative service learning process
Practice leadership through advocacy for social change
Exercise leadership to make progress on personal and local/global community issues
Apply leadership scholarship as it relates to current events, case studies, and ethical dilemmas with a global context
