Blue Leadership Program 2009

Dear Students,

You are invited to register for the BLUE Leadership Program. This program's aim is to mold students into leaders through their participation in 6 workshops and completion of 5 hours of community service.

The leadership model is based on a foundation of theories and processes which connect to 12 areas of leadership. The program is hinged on action, which provides steps each week to guide the student towards establishing a leadership identity. Community service is listed as the last action step, which occurs during Hofstra Volunteer Week.

The program concludes during the Hofstra Student Leadership Awards on May 5, 2009, when each student leader will receive a BLUE Leadership Program certificate.

Applications for fall 2009 are due October 5, 2009 at 5 PM.
