Leadership Outlines
The Office of Student Activities provides Leadership Development
programming to offer students opportunities to develop and enhance
a personal philosophy of leadership that includes self understanding,
respect for others, and acknowledgement of responsibilities inherent
in a community. Through a variety of programs, students can choose
the course of action that best fits their needs and interests. At
Barry University, the Leadership Development program is divided
into three (3) components:
Conferences
The purpose of these conferences is to provide student leaders
with the opportunity to interact with their peers from Barry University
and/or surrounding institutions, allowing them to form friendships,
gather ideas, and promote intercollegiate cooperative program planning.
Most conferences will feature a keynote speaker and a series of
breakout sessions aimed at addressing issues that are pertinent
to both established and emerging student leaders.
Seminars
These workshops are designed to provide you with the opportunity
to understand and explore the concept of leadership, assess your
interests, improve your skills, and learn more about working with
others. The seminars are generally one hour long and are held at
a variety of times and locations. The Office of Student Activities
understands that individual leadership skill levels are unique and
each year different needs and/or issues will be at the forefront.
Therefore, seminar topics will vary each semester and suggestions
for new topics will be researched and provided as needed.
Retreats
Retreats are developed as a learning adventure. The goal of leadership
retreats is to offer students experiential learning opportunities
to develop a variety of leadership skills. A retreat will allow
both new and seasoned student leaders an opportunity to interact
with one another, sharing knowledge, demonstrating key principles
of group dynamics, developing effective communication techniques,
and building teamwork skills. In addition, attendees at a retreat
will have the opportunity to challenge their personal limits and
grow as an individual.
