We will take basic leadership concepts and spend one hour diving into details of how to develop responsible and respected leaders. The session meets from 8:40 to 9:40 p.m. in Lemmons 8.

While some of the content may be specific to athletics and teams, we feel strongly that every person will end up working in a team at some point in their lives, and this information can be relevant for everyone on campus.
