Interested in further developing your leadership skills? We encourage you to enroll in a new one-credit, pass/no-pass class this fall, Introduction to Multicultural Leadership, taught by D’Metri Mattocks and Dave Johnstone.
Increasingly our campus and our world builds 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.
The class, called LEAD 260 (“Leadership ADVANCE” in the course schedule), will be experiential, conversational, a little experimental, and hopefully fun and engaging. All are welcome. It will meet on Thursdays from noon to 1:15 p.m.
No current leadership role is necessary. No past experience is necessary. There are no prerequisites.
Please contact D’Metri Mattocks at dmattocks@georgefox.edu or Dave Johnstone at djohnsto@georgefox.edu if you have questions.
