Students are challenged to practice critical and creative thinking skills, and they are expected to demonstrate competence in communication, collaboration, and engaged citizenship or leadership. This course is open to all majors. This course will foster and integrate student understanding of leadership theory and concepts across an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural spectrum serving as a capstone course to the Keuka College general education requirement.

Among key topics of exploration are definitions, roles and responsibilities, role models, skills and attitudes, leadership development, change making, ethical issues, and principle-based leadership.
