Do You Accept the Leadership Challenge?
By becoming actively engaged through leadership, your development as a student leader can enhance your overall experience at Hofstra University and help broaden your skills for a successful career.
There are many avenues for individuals, clubs and executive club members to accept the leadership challenge by taking advantage of retreats, workshops, and more! OSLA provides training for club presidents and other executive board members, which focuses on strengthening your club's performance and passing the baton of leadership by equipping your club with assessment tools to evaluating your growth as an organization. The individual Leadership Challenge supports students to develop their skills as leaders before applying for leadership roles on and off campus, such as Club Presidents, Resident Assistants, Orientation Leaders, Internships, and Welcome Week Leaders.
Blue Leadership Program
The Blue Leadership Program is the first in a dual program that allows students to participate in seven interactive workshops (roughly every other week) that help emerging leaders develop their leadership skills. The program targets first and second year students who have started to get involved on campus and are looking to take the next step. The program is held every spring semester, and includes such topics as Time Management, Ethics and Leadership, Managing Crisis, Business Leadership, and Values Exploration.
Once participants graduate from the Blue Program they are eligible to participate in the Gold Leadership Program (targeting upperclassmen and/or Blue graduates) which begins every fall semester and runs the entire length of the academic year.
