This course is designed to orient students towards these goals. More specifically, to provide a framework and point of reference for students¿ leadership development. During the three-day session, we will explore leadership in a variety ways, including individual meetings with prominent leaders in the field, discussions, and case study project. Students will also experience Washington, D.C. through a tour of the Capitol, meetings with Congressional members and staff, and time on the Mall. For DEL-MEM students only.
