The College of Communication and Information Sciences strives to develop global leaders. C&IS is dedicated to student leadership development both inside and outside of the classroom. As an important component of experiential learning, the College will empower students through leadership programming that encompasses communication, diversity and collaboration. The College will work with students to connect their leadership experiences throughout college to best position them for internships and careers in the industry. Starting with the central student leadership groups in C&IS, the College will launch the first-ever C&IS Student Lead Retreat in Fall 2019. At this two-day retreat, students will become part of a network of peers who will understand their individual and group impact on the C&IS community and beyond.
To support student leadership development efforts, C&IS wants to fund 50 students to be part of the inaugural C&IS Lead Retreat and future student leadership workshops open to all C&IS students.
Our goal is $10,000. The costs include promotion, off-campus lodging, travel, meals, participant and curriculum materials, faculty and staff leaders and future on-campus leadership workshops.
