Introduction to Campus Programs on Leadership. Luce Leadership Series.
Spitzberg, Irving J., Jr.
Leadership development programs on U.S. campuses are discussed. Three categories of campus-based leadership development programs have been identified: the co-curricular program arising out of a student development office or direct student initiative; the academic course that draws mainly on social psychological and management studies literatures; and the liberal arts academic courses that places the study of leadership in the context of both the humanities and the social sciences. Suggestions for leadership programs are offered. Six programs are described in detail that emphasize different categories of programs or that combine the types in different ways. These programs are: the Expanded Curriculum for Excellence in Leadership (EXCEL) at the University of Tampa (Florida); the leadership program at Mount St. Mary's College, Los Angeles (California); an academic and co-curricular leadership program at West Point (New York); the study of leadership as liberal arts at the College of Wooster (Ohio); a liberal arts leadership program at Duke University (North Carolina); and the Public Leadership Education Network (PLEN), a consortium of 10 women's colleges that is administered by Goucher College (Maryland). Contacts for these six programs and for four additional ones are specified. (SW)
