A Personal Development Series

Leadership 101 is a series of free, one hour, leadership development workshops designed to provide individuals with the essentials for strengthening their personal leadership skills in order for each participant to become a better leader in the Appalachian community and in society.

Registration for this series is not required and students are welcome to attend one to all of the sessions.

Every student who attends at least 7 of the 14 sessions will receive special recognition as a Leadership 101 Graduate. Graduates of Leadership 101 will have their participation added to the Student Development Record (co-curricular transcript); will receive a certificate of participation, and individual recognition at the annual awards banquet. Each session is facilitated by a different faculty, staff, or student group that specializes in the topical area.


All sessions held in the Calloway Peak Room of the Plemmons Student Union from 5:00-6:00 pm.
