What does leadership in the public sphere look like? What does it mean to be an influential leader as an elected official, a policy advocate, or a public servant? In this six-week course, we will examine research literature and case examples, and hear from speakers from different aspects in the public service realm. Topics will include leadership capacities, issue advocacy, working with constituents, women's experiences, and effective mentoring and networking. Students will complete one project relevant to public impact.
Course limited to sophomores, juniors and seniors
Half-semester course.
