This fall, D’Metri Mattocks and Dave Johnstone will be teaching a one-credit pass/no-pass leadership class with a particular focus on multicultural leadership. We encourage you to enroll!
Increasingly, our campus and our world build teams which are diverse in perspectives, worldviews and cultures. We want to provide a few tools and prompts to begin developing skills on how to strengthen or be part of such teams.
No current leadership role is necessary. No past experience is necessary. There are no prerequisites. The class will be experiential, conversational, a little experimental, and hopefully fun and engaging. All are welcome.
The class, called LEAD 260, will take place Thursdays from noon to 1:15 pm. It’s called Leadership ADVANCE in the course schedule (an old course name we had to keep).
Please contact D’Metri at dmattocks@georgefox.edu or Dave at djohnsto@georgefox.edu if you have questions.
