TODAY: PROGRAM EXAMINES 'LEADER FOR LIFE' PROGRESS
All students, faculty and staff
are encouraged to join special guests from the community and around the country
at a Leadership Day presentation from 11 a.m.-noon April 10 in Steele Hall
Mainstage Theatre. Speakers including University
President Angelo Armenti, Jr., faculty members and students will address the
Cal U Leader for Life process and
outline progress toward achieving Lighthouse University status. In August, Cal U was named the
world’s first Franklin Covey Leadership University in recognition of its
efforts to incorporate leadership principles into teaching, learning and campus
life. Since then, students have begun
participating in the campus-wide leadership development process based on the
principles outlined in Dr. Stephen R. Covey’s bestselling book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. All students are eligible for
the process. It will be available for faculty and staff members later this
spring. “Leadership Day is one of the criteria that will enable Cal U to
achieve Lighthouse University status,” explained Ron Paul, executive director
of the Character Education Institute. “This is a wonderful opportunity for the University to open its doors
and show our community and guests from other higher education institutions the
progress we have made with the Leader for
Life process thus far.” Students can document their
participation in the Leader for Life
process on their Activities Transcript. Those who complete the Leader for Life courses, attend
Leadership Forums, meet with a Career Services adviser and complete a capstone
project can earn the Leader for Life
certificate and a graduation cord to wear at Commencement.
