Planning/Presenting a LEAD Scholar Workshop
While any/all LEAD Scholars are welcome to design and present a workshop, each Junior LEAD Scholar will be responsible for leading or co-leading one LEAD Workshop in the academic year. Junior Scholars with busy spring terms are encouraged to complete this requirement in the fall. Junior Scholars may host or lead multiple workshops, if they desire, but will only be held accountable for leading/hosting one. A minimum of four LEAD workshops will be offered in each of the following months of the academic year: October, November, February, and March. Please note the September and January workshops are built-into the Overnight/Mini Retreats and are led by the adviser and there are no workshops in December or April to allow Scholars to focus on finals. Juniors may choose to work independently, to pair up with each other, to co-present with an outside leader (faculty/staff/guest presenter/other student leader) or work with the LEAD Scholars adviser to host a workshop. No more than two presenters should be attached to any one workshop. Responsibilities for hosting/co-hosting a workshop include:
Please note all current LEAD scholars who design/present a workshop in an academic year will be eligible to be considered for the "Workshop of the Year" award, which will be recognized at the end of year Recognition Celebration/Senior Send-Off.
- Coming up with a topic that addresses leadership skills not already covered at a LEAD Workshop in that academic year -or- which covers leadership skills already covered at a LEAD Workshop in the same academic year in a new and different way
