Read 2 Lead

The “Read to Lead: Leadership Book Club” is meant to provide an independent educational opportunity for students who may have already attended Emerging Leaders, LeaderShape, or have scheduling conflicts but are looking to continue their leadership education.

Here’s how it works…it’s easy as 1-2-3!!

1. SELECT a book on the topic of leadership that you are interested in reading and attend an initial meeting with all other R2L students on, Thursday, October 7th, 2010 (6 - 7pm) in MUB 321. There a staff member will review the program requirements, distribute handouts, and answer any questions you may have.

2. READ the book by the end of the semester. Each time you complete a chapter (or appropriate-sized section), you must write a “chapter summary” of approximately 250 words. When you have completed the entire book, we ask you to submit a “Book Review” of approximately 500 words.

3. ATTEND the closure meeting on Thursday, December 9th, 2010 (6 - 7pm) in MUB 321, where you and other R2L students will share individual book reviews. There you will also submit both your book review and chapter summaries. If you are enrolled in the Leadership Certificate Program, they will be placed in your personal file.
