Examining historical experiences, such as the start of the space race in 1957, the Civil Rights movement of the mid-twentieth century, the response of a small city to a major airline crash, and other historical events, students consider how leadership issues have manifested themselves and been addressed in our society. As part of the course, students participate in a service project with their class, becoming part of a team that reaches out beyond the campus community to offer service to the wider community while fostering leadership skills associated with the Relational Leadership Model.
