LOS 450 - Applied Leadership Practicum

This course is built around an applied leadership experience or project that students will create, direct and implement in a context of their choosing. Since students are given some agency in self directed leadership development, there are many forms that student experiences can take. Students can work within a current job, an internship, or another organization in which they practice leadership with or without a formal position of authority. The assignments are designed to guide students through the process of developing, acting, reflecting, and crystallizing learning throughout a field experience in which they engage in leadership practice informed by knowledge gained in the LOS major. The class meetings function as a community of practice seminar to support students’ learning development. Deeper forms of leadership development learning will be aided through a recurring leadership coaching process. Individual student development plans will be informed through leadership coaching meeting with the professor and class meetings. The priority here is to foster the applied learning and leadership development potential for each student.
