The Multicultural Center for Academic Excellence (MCAE), Circle of Indigenous Nations (COIN) & the Leadership Minor have partnered to offer reserved sections of LEAD 1961W: Personal Leadership in the University. You’ll build a community with supportive peers & teachers as you strengthen your academic excellence with other MCAE & COIN students who are new to the U.

LEAD 1961W (3 credits) offers a unique and transformative learning experience.  This highly interactive class challenges traditional notions of leadership to explore more diverse, inclusive, and community-driven approaches.

With 26 students or fewer in each class, you’ll self-reflect, build community, and discuss weekly topics like strengths, values, identities, team roles, culture, conflict, ethics, and social change. You’ll have instructors and student interns who are especially experienced, supportive, and highly rated. 

This class also meets two Liberal Education requirements needed for your degree progress (Writing Intensive + Civic Life & Ethics Theme).  Plus, students who complete LEAD 1961W may choose to go on to complete the full Leadership Minor.

Who is eligible to enroll?

This section is reserved for any student who is connected to MCAE or COIN. This may include attending MCAE or Native & Indigenous Kickoff, utilizing MCAE/COIN academic support services, participating in MCAE/COIN events, living in an MCAE Living Learning Community, etc.
