Leadership development is a key component of community life at St. Norbert College. We offer a variety of programs to help you consciously explore leadership foundations and master influential skills including: Emerging Leaders, a special program guiding new students toward leadership roles on campus; and our Student Leadership Conference, which combines classroom sessions with workshops on conflict management, role modeling and program planning to aid with leadership and service experiences.
The bottom line is that we are here to help you prepare for your leadership roles and responsibilities, and our department, in collaboration with others on campus, offers a number of programs designed to help you develop your skills with direct experience and training:
Participate in Emerging Leaders during your first-year at St. Norbert. Using a combination of skill workshops and self-exploration, emerging leaders provides a great foundation for eventual leadership roles. While developing your personal philosophy of leadership, you'll learn about the college community and ways to get involved.
The Student Leadership Development Conference is a day-long event intended for any student interested in learning more about leadership. The conference, held at the beginning of spring semester, includes a keynote speaker and sessions on various topics related to leadership development.
The Norbertine Leadership and Service Awards recognize selfless devotion to improving St. Norbert College and the greater community, to going above and beyond in appreciating human differences, to establishing connections between students, faculty, and staff, and to living the college’s mission.
