Welcome to the Leadership Institute
The Washburn University Leadership Institute strives to
produce the ideal Washburn Leadership Experience. This approach provides the
education, experience and empowerment for all students to understand, practice
and refine their leadership talents and skills.
The activities, programs and services within the Washburn Leadership
Experience are flexible and adaptable to any Washburn candidate, student and
alumnus because they:
- Ensure
programs incorporate an appropriate mix of learning mechanisms, balanced
between classroom and experiential processes;
- Teach students as participants, empower students as leaders and incorporate
action-based learning throughout the cycle with a focus on an evolution from
participation to leadership involvement;
- Recognize leader development progresses at different rates for different
individuals and ensures programs are delivered with this flexibility in
leadership development;
- Acknowledge the leadership experience may vary for different types of
students and ensure that programs adapt to these differences; and
- Strive to provide leadership opportunities so students can learn by leading.
