Leadership Development
The Leadership Development Programs at Clayton State University prepare students for leadership opportunities by exposing them to styles, theories and models of leadership while challenging them to think critically about their own leadership potential and how to apply it in their academic life, extracurricular activities, and subsequent career endeavors.
Civility: A personal commitment to treat people fair, polite and with respect
Social Responsibility: A personal commitment to ensure the well-being of people and the public good. Social Responsibility is a willingness to confront the unjust and unfair treatment of others.
Teamwork: A personal commitment to cooperatively engage in group decision making.
Ethical Decision Making: A personal commitment to make honest, respectable and moral decisions with integrity.
The Leadership Development Programs have adopted five main
principles for leadership development. It is our intention
for students participating in our programs to Connect
with other students, faculty and staff; Engage in
activities that permit students to utilize their leadership
skills; Develop their leadership style and skills with
ethical and intentional support;
Enhance their leadership skills through practice and
resources; and Nurture students self-awareness, life and
educational goals, and definitions of success.
