WCSC 485 Servant Leadership (2 SH)

How are leaders made? In these critical times, what kinds of leaders does our society need? How is leadership best practiced? College students, at the cusp of adulthood in American society, stand at many crossroads. Life-altering decisions, vocational choices, questions about how and whom to serve can stimulate or, conversely, inhibit creativity, a willingness to engage in the serious issues of our day, and a commitment to serve others. This course will be taught in tandem with WCSC 285 Internship Theory and Practice and explores the many dimensions of servant leadership, starting first with traditional definitions and moving into frameworks of gender and race before engaging with the great non-violent servant leaders of the twentieth century. Throughout the class we will talk with local servant leaders in the D.C. area. (Will satisfy EMU Core Senior Seminar for students who have earned 90 SH prior to enrollment in WCSC)
