Introducing the Leadership 海角社区 Fall 2020 Cohort
12/21/2020
BATON ROUGE 鈥� 海角社区 has recognized 12 students as the Fall Cohort Class of 2020 for
Leadership 海角社区, an annual program coordinated by 海角社区 Campus Life.
In its 31st year, this 海角社区 tradition provides juniors, seniors and graduate students the opportunity to develop and apply their leadership at high levels while in their final semesters at 海角社区. Participants chosen for the Leadership 海角社区 Fall Cohort exhibit the capacity to learn and impact others positively through their leadership experiences.
While the fall semester did present challenges to everyone on campus, the cohort did meet each week via Zoom and finished strong with reflections and group discussions about their experience.
Each semester, the Robert Beverly Pancake Memorial Scholarship is awarded to a cohort member who is an undergraduate student of the E. J. Ourso College of Business. This student exemplifies what it means to be a leader. Jada Moore is the recipient of the scholarship for the 2020 fall cohort.
鈥淭he Leadership 海角社区 Fall 2020 cohort members continued their learning journeys together in the midst of the international response to COVID-19,鈥� Jacob Brumfield, director of 海角社区 Campus Life, said. 鈥淲e are proud of their commitments to the program, to their leadership learning, and to their efforts to put their leadership in action during this challenging time.鈥�
The curriculum of Leadership 海角社区 is based in adaptive leadership through group discussion and extracurricular lectures with 海角社区 and community leaders. By the end of the program, students have learned how to identify adaptive leadership challenges, address social issues with the community, recognize the opportunities that come from an adaptive leadership experience and support the Leadership 海角社区 peer network.
