Intermediate Leadership

Intermediate Leadership combines high-level critical thinking, writing, and analytical skills with mentorship and entrepreneurial project experiences and implementation. Students will participate in research and evaluation, project planning and execution, as well as leadership and critical thinking-based activities in order to further develop these key skills in tandem with mentorship and counseling of fellow students. Students will learn vital theoretical lessons in the areas of interpersonal communications, diversity and inclusion, marketing, advertising, and pedagogy. Findings from these experiences will lead students to become empathic and responsible citizens who can apply their knowledge to
larger-scale future projects as their ages, resources, and scopes increase. Students will be taught best practices in
business development involving budgeting, marketing, target audience research, reporting, and pitching ideas for their leadership projects; subsequently, students will implement these concepts as they craft and execute their events, projects, and presentations. This class will require students to synthesize information obtained in core classes as well as work both individually and collaboratively.
