Synergy

Synergy is a series of skill building and training workshops to aid students in the development of their leadership style and personal development. An integral component of Synergy is to prepare participants to utilize critical thinking, to develop effective verbal, non-verbal and written communication skills, how to delegate and collaborative and cooperative teamwork. Students can attend workshops “a-la-carte” or they can apply to the Leadership Academy – a track based, intensive leadership and skill developing program. Successful completion of the Leadership Academy culminates with a graduation ceremony and recognition as a certified student leader.
