In this community-engaged course, students focus on two key questions: How do organizational leaders manage the tension between aspirations and limitations? How do I want to practice leadership in an organizational context?
In this class, we explore transformational leadership theories and critically reflect on how leaders and organizations manage limitations as they continue to work toward their aspirations. In small groups, you will practice community-engaged learning and the concept of reciprocity, while contributing to a community-based organization and learning from their organizational leaders. You will continue to develop your leader identity through critical reflection, engagement with thought leaders, and in the context of an organization.
This course is taught in a blended model, with each week including one in-person class meeting, asynchronous learning on Canvas, and work at a community-based organization.
