STUDENT LEADERSHIP

Leadership is not about being in charge. We believe it’s about your integrity, your self-awareness, and your vision for creating change. Here at Towson University’s Initiatives for Leadership Education and Development (i L.E.A.D.), we are dedicated to giving students opportunities to see themselves as leaders and to develop the skills necessary to be exemplary leaders in the community.

Leadership development is a cornerstone of the Towson University student experience, both inside and out of the classroom. We encourage you to check out all the great opportunities and programs i L.E.A.D. has to offer!

By participating in i L.E.A.D programming, students will learn:

• Communication Skills
• Cultural Competency
• Self-Awareness
• Organizational Development

• Critical Thinking
• Civility
• Values Clarification
• Conflict Resolution
