School of Management launches alumni-led Student Leadership Certificate during Wintersession<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n SOM students collaborate in Goddard Library before pandemic mandated mask-wearing and social distancing.\n

Throughout the pandemic, School of Management<\/a> Assistant Dean Laura Burgess has been impressed by the efforts of student leaders who have reached out to their peers and planned meaningful virtual student activities. As a way to reward them and provide additional leadership training during this year’s COVID-extended winter break, Burgess created a noncredit Student Leadership Certificate program, enlisting alumni involvement with the help of Laurie Cormier, University Advancement’s SOM liaison.<\/p>\n

Twenty graduate and undergraduate students were selected for the six-week program.

The students learned relevant workplace skills —and the alumni enjoyed connecting with Clarkies and passing on their own leadership experience.<\/p>\n
