Description
Emerging Leaders is a day long experience for students who are interested in developing their leadership capacity and learning more about the Social Change Model (SCM) of Leadership Development. SCM at it's core, approaches leadership as a purposeful, collaborative, values-based process that results in positive social change.
The Social Change Model sees leadership as purposeful, collaborative, and a values-driven process. Titles or positions are not needed in order to be a leader. Leaders work to improve the groups and communities they are part of. Through this approach, anyone can be a leader, because "leaders" are those who want to make a difference. This kind of collaborative process means that groups must have trust, which requires that group members act in ways that are consistent with their own beliefs and values as well as the group’s goals.
Students interested in this experience should be prepared to engage with material that asks them to be introspective, name their values, share in brave spaces, and value the voices of other participants.
Participants do not need to hold leadership positions or be heavily involved on campus. In fact, we encourage new first year and transfer students to attend this experience as it can serve as your orientation to leadership and involvement at UMBC.
This experience is designed for Undergraduate Students.
