Earn a Leadership UNCW Certificate in ...
- Personal Leadership
- Civic and Community Engagement
- Fraternity and Sorority Leadership
- Organizational Leadership
- Outdoor Adventure Leadership
- Sport Club Leadership
All certificates have a common set of requirements that include:
ELECTIVE WORKSHOPS
Any workshop can count as an elective (or "additional workshop of your choice") for a certificate, with the exception of the four foundation workshops. For example, a workshop required for the Certificate in Organizational Leadership can count as an elective workshop toward completing the Certificate in Civic and Community Engagement. However, the four foundation workshops required for the Certificate in Personal Leadership cannot count as elective workshops for any other certificate.
WRITTEN REFLECTIONS
Reflections should be 200-300 words in length, written in paragraph form, and address:
- what you learned from participating in the specific workshop
- what you plan to do in the future to apply what was learned during the workshop
Submit completed reflections via email to Jenn Smist, either in the text of the email or as an attachment.
There is no deadline for completing written reflections, though it is suggested that you complete them within two weeks of each workshops. You will not complete the requirements and earn a certificate without written reflections on file for each workshop attended.
REQUIRED WORKSHOPS
The required workshops vary for each certificate. Spring 2008 dates are noted below - more are being added, so check back soon for additional dates.
