Center for Ethical Leadership and Active Citizenship 

What’s your vision?

The Center for Ethical Leadership and Active Citizenship is designed to support and foster growth in students who want to explore leadership and service in their communities. The Center’s curriculum leads participants in identifying strengths, acting from their values, provides the tools to lead towards a common goal, and offers the necessary resources to implement a vision for the greater good. After completing both levels, participants can design their own practicum to earn the title of Certified Ethical Leader or Certified Active Citizen. This program is a must for any student wishing to distinguish themselves outside of the classroom.

Ethical Leadership and Active Citizenship Level 1

Build competence as a leader and self-awareness to act out of personal values through participation in workshops such as Strengths Quest, Conflict Resolution, Group Process, and Power Dynamics.  Level 1 activities include leadership shadowing and service participation.

Upon completion, participants receive Intellectual, Social, and Vocational Wellness Credits toward graduation requirements.

Ethical Leadership and Active Citizenship Level 2

Become active contributors and begin guiding the work of others toward a common goal while learning and practicing effective group formation and leadership by receiving cutting edge training in Facilitative Leadership.

Upon completion, participants receive Intellectual, Social, and Vocational Wellness Credits toward graduation requirements and preference for campus leadership positions such as tutors, steering committee members, and residential life assistants.

Practicum

This is your invitation to take your vision and develop either a leadership or service outreach project that will contribute to the greater good. You can choose to do a project in Ethical Leadership or Active Citizenship for certification.

Upon completion, participants can choose up to three Wellness dimensions to earn credit in, receive special recognition at Honor’s Day and graduation, will receive a statement of certification on their co-curricular transcript, and are eligible for campus leadership positions.
