Upcoming Events

This year's theme – Leadership & Activism: Awakening the Change Agent in You – will explore the intersection of leadership and activism, highlighting the ways in which students can get actively engaged to create positive change. Through a series of interactive and impactful sessions, students will develop a deeper understanding of the values and passions that drive them, hear from inspiring activist leaders, and learn the tools they need to take action in their own communities.

This free event is open to all UNF students, as well as staff, faculty and community friends and will feature a breakfast and lunch reception before and after the event. Event funded by the Student Life & Services Fee.

The Leadership Minor Information Sessions are offered twice this Fall semester:

Session #1: Tuesday, October 30th from 12:00-1:00 PM
Session #2: Wednesday, October 31st from 12:00-1:00 PM

Please choose one of these sessions to attend. Both sessions will take place in the Taylor Leadership Institute's office located in Bldg. 9, Schultz Hall, Rm. 1103 (right between Chick-Fil-A and Chop'd & Wrap'd)

Did you know that a Minor in Leadership provides students with important credentials documenting the intentional study and practice of leadership, giving them an important "plus factor" in the job market and in applications to graduate school!

Register for the session of your choice. These sessions are open to ALL students, whether or not they have declared the Leadership Minor. Current students who have already declared the minor can ask questions and gain advice on how to proceed through the program. Prospective students will learn about the benefits and requirements of the inter-disciplinary Leadership Minor.

Students who attend the information session and then wish to declare the Leadership Minor may do so with their college's Academic Advisor in the days following the session and prior to December 31, 2018, to assure that the Leadership Minor will be effective in the Spring term. Students should declare the Leadership Minor not later than the last term of their Junior year.

ELT Workshops are offered twice the upcoming Spring 2019 semester:

Session #1: Wednesday, January 9th from 12:00-1:00 PM
Session #2: Thursday, January 10th from 12:00-1:00 PM

Please choose one of these sessions to attend. Both sessions will take place in the College of Education & Human Services - Computer Lab, Bldg. 57, Petway Hall, Rm. 2520

Attendance at an ELT Workshop is required of all students who seek the Leadership Minor and have completed LDR3003 (Introduction to Leadership). This one-hour workshop will teach you the meaning of "reflective practice" and how to properly utilize UNF's unique online tool called the Experiential Learning Transcript (ELT) to chronicle and unpack your leadership learning outcomes from diverse co-curricular experiences outside the classroom. These include on-campus and off-campus activities and personal family-life events, and can make reference to employment, service, community engagement, study abroad, and other forms of experiential learning.

The ELT might be described as a reflective journal that documents how the student has distinguished herself/himself in the practice of leadership. Submitting entries on the ELT is a requirement to attain the Leadership Minor and builds the student's unique and personal leadership repertoire of reflected leadership practice, paving the way for successful completion of the final course in the Minor, LDR4263 - Leadership Practicum and the presentation of one's Senior Leadership Capstone as the primary deliverable of that final course. In effect, the "practicum" is the composite of all your reflected leadership learnings across all your experiences during the tenure of your time at UNF. Students should allow at least two terms of reflection on the ELT prior to enrollment in LDR4263. Students are required to have a minimum of 12 ELT entries prior to admission to LDR4263.
