Leading
Through Education, Activism and Diversity
LEAD,
Leading Through Education, Activism and Diversity, is a leadership
development program for students interested in exploring issues of
cross-cultural collaboration and activism for the purpose of social change.
The LEAD program is led by the professional staff of the four ethnic
community centers (the Asian American Activities
Center, the Black
Community Services
Center, El Centro Chicano and the Native American Cultural
Center).
The LEAD program begins with a fall retreat which
explores the Social Change Model of Leadership Development with a
particular emphasis on its applicability to students of color and
collaborative work. Following the
retreat, students work in small groups implementing the model by
identifying common goals and organizing a community or university social
change project.
LEAD is open to a limited number of students selected
by each of the ethnic community centers. Highest priority is given to
freshmen and sophomore applicants.
