Description

Discover how the Leadership Development students from MTU partnered with outside Mentors develop their own Strategic Leadership Development Plan (SLDP), a personalized learning plan to help enhance a student’s leadership abilities. Each student assessed their current knowledge, abilities, and values relevant to leadership and participated in a 3600 assessment. Mentors then guided students in developing their leadership capabilities using SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound). A personal vision statement served as each student’s personal constitution. Attendees will participate in an activity to develop their own Personal Vision Statement.
