Joan of Arc Leadership Program
Joan of Arc Leadership Program
Emerging Leaders (Series offered in both the fall and spring semesters for FRESHMEN)
This introductory element is designed for students to become self-aware. Individuals who are aware of their thoughts, feelings, strengths, and weaknesses are well prepared to succeed in a variety of leadership experiences.
The program will consist of six topical workshops. Students participating in Emerging Leaders will also be expected to participate in one of the three common service activities scheduled for the Joan of Arc Leadership participants each semester, which will provide them the opportunity to meet and work with upper-class student leaders.
Advanced Components
Students will have the opportunity to complete three other levels of leadership development if they choose (the SHIELD, the PALDRON, and the GAUNTLET). In an effort to maintain the integrity of Emerging Leaders as a "freshmen" experience, students will be able to complete the three advanced levels (in appropriate order) irrespective of whether or not they completed Emerging Leaders. In each of the advanced components, the emphasis is on self, group, and community/change with each component exploring these topics in compounding depth.
For SHIELD and for PALDRON students will need to complete six topical workshops. Participants in each of the advanced components may also be expected to participate in one of the three common service activities scheduled for the Joan of Arc Leadership participants each semester, which will provide them with an opportunity to meet and work with other student leaders.
Students who reach the final component (the GAUNTLET) will need to attend four required workshops and facilitate one of the sessions for the lower programs for completion. After students finish this component, they have the option to stay involved in the LEAD Team; a group of Joan of Arc Leadership "graduates" who assist with the facilitation of workshops for the Joan of Arc program, for club and organization training, and for any group on campus looking for training and development assistance.
For Spring 2013, the Emerging Leaders, Shield and Paldron sections of Joan of Arc will be held on Monday evenings from 6:00pm-7:30pm in the Student Union.
Gauntlet will be held on Wednesday evenings from 6:00-7:30pm in the Student Union.
