Leadership TAMIU
Leadership TAMIU provides upper-division, undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to learn advanced leadership principles and techniques so that they may be used after the successful completion of their studies. The program is designed in a one day lecture/discussion retreat followed by weekly virtual prompts. This course prepares you for navigating life after college: in the workplace, in the community and in a global society.
In this course, students understand the pluralistic nature of institutions, society and culture in the United States and across the world in order to become educated, productive, reflective, and engaged citizens and leaders. Utilizing Stillman & Stillman's Gen Z @ Work, Strengthsquest, and Juana Bordas’ The Power of Latino Leadership as a backdrop, students will leverage their experiences to take command of their own personal and professional journey.
Leadership TAMIU
Leadership TAMIU focuses on all aspects of career readiness and translating our collegiate experiences into initiating change. We explore the topics of lived experience, social change, and leadership in the workplace, community and society through a variety of lenses. As we discuss and learn about different aspects intercultural opportunities, we discuss the impact our lived experiences and personal histories have on our understanding of the world.
The overall purpose of Leadership TAMIU is to challenge each student to carefully analyze how their collegiate experiences have enabled them to take on the responsibilities and commitments to social change in the context of global leadership. This leadership program is more than a study of global leadership; it is a learner-centered opportunity to develop one’s own social change leadership potential within the workplace and beyond. Students are encouraged to engage and direct their own learning. This program is intended to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to improve their career readiness and achieve long-lasting social change.
Students in the Leadership TAMIU program will be able to identify their leadership strengths and weaknesses, express their image of the future, clarify and communicate their fundamental values and beliefs, align their actions with their values, build collaboration and trust, and search for opportunities to change and improve.
Students in this program are expected to attend the daylong retreat in order to successfully complete the program and complete the weekly virtual prompts. Students accepted into the program will be notified of the retreat accordingly.
