About Us
At CMU, leadership development is a process by which a student explores themselves as an individual, gains an understanding of how to effectively navigate team and group dynamics, and grows their connection to community. As a student embraces more opportunities and reflects on their journey, they expand their worldview and become increasingly able to facilitate positive, responsible change. (https://www.cmu.edu/student-affairs/slice/leadership/index.html) Our leadership development philosophy is guided by the Social Change Model of Leadership which approaches leadership as a purposeful, collaborative, values-based process that results in positive social change. It's built on the following assumptions: Leadership is socially responsible, it impacts change on behalf of others. Leadership is collaborative. Leadership is a process, not a position. Leadership is inclusive and accessible to all people. Leadership is values-based. Community involvement/service is a powerful vehicle for leadership. We look forward to growing as leaders together and enhancing your graduate student experience here at Heinz!
