Whether you're a student looking to get involved, become a leader, refine your skills, or add something extra to your résumé-- check us out! Below you will find a summary of each program, registration information, program dates and hyperlinks to event pages for more information:<div>

    <div>
    <div>The Leadershops series consists of workshops that focus on various student centered leadership-related topics facilitated by Campus Life staff and student leaders. This program aims to contribute to the leadership development and ongoing learning of UMBC undergraduate students.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The following are the fall 2021 Leadershops sessions that are being offered for students to register through myUMBC:</div>

    <div>
    <div>This program is about getting more out of, rather than cramming more into, UMBC. This 5 week program helps first year, sophomore, and new transfer students craft a more fulfilling college experience by sharing practical tools and ideas and relating them back to their leadership and involvement plans for UMBC. Topics include exploring your interests, finding your place at UMBC, designing plans for your leadership and involvement experience, and so much more. This seminar incorporates small group discussion, in-class activities, field exercises, and personal reflection.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>There are two cohorts available starting the week of October 5th and ending the week of November 2nd, 2021:</div>

    <div><u><strong><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/osl/events/95151" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">EMERGING LEADERS</a></strong></u></div>
    <div>
    <div>Emerging Leaders is a day long experience for students who are interested in developing their leadership capacity and learning more about the Social Change Model (SCM) of Leadership Development. SCM at it’s core, approaches leadership as a purposeful, collaborative, values-based process that results in positive social change.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The Social Change Model sees leadership as purposeful, collaborative, and a values-driven process. Titles or positions are not needed in order to be a leader. Leaders work to improve the groups and communities they are part of. Through this approach, anyone can be a leader, because “leaders” are those who want to make a difference. This kind of collaborative process means that groups must have trust, which requires that group members act in ways that are consistent with their own beliefs and values as well as the group’s goals. Food will be provided at this event.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><em>This program will take place in-person at The Commons 331 on Saturday, October 23rd, 2021 from 10:30am – 3:30pm. </em></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Registration deadline has been extended to Monday, October 11th at 11:59pm. </div>
