SOMETIMES, THE WORLD
JUST SUCKS!
(...AND THAT’S WHY WE NEED SOCIAL LEADERS LIKE YOU!)
This fall, the Department of Business &
Tourism is launching a new campus-wide social leadership program, open to all
Mount students. The program is a hands-on chance to lead positive change in the
world.
We’re offering a social leadership
certificate that will look great on your resumé. But we’re hoping that the
bigger reason you’ll want to join the program is to have an impact on society.
To earn the “year 1” social leadership
certificate, you will complete 15 hours of volunteer work, participate
in two professional development activities (including our social
enterprise conference in February), and work with a team of your friends to run
a social project in the community. At the end of next term, you’ll document
your social impact “portfolio-style”.
As a new Assistant Professor here at the
Mount, I’m excited to be leading this program. We’ll meet every other week for
an hour to discuss social leadership and make plans for our projects. A
preliminary drop-in information session is scheduled for Wednesday, September
26 from 2-3 pm in Seton room 404. If you can’t attend, you can contact me for
more information or to join the group. Reach me via email (ryan.macneil@msvu.ca)
or twitter (@ryanmacneil).
