LEAD 621 - Leadership and Civic Engagement

Credits: (3 semester hours)

This course brings together concepts from organizational theory, ethics, public policy and service learning, to create a course where the student integrates his or her program into a united whole through readings, action research applications, experiential reflections, and interactive dialogue. This course works in conjunction with all other courses to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate issues, concepts and ideas as they promote active leadership. Through a process of critical reflection, classical and modern writers will be subjected to scrutiny, with the goal of assisting students to arrive at interpretive frames more adequate to adult life experience. The course will connect cognitive processes with experiential affects through a community service project.
