STRIVE
The Strive Program is an 8 week personal leadership development program that combines group work with individual learning. Participants will have the opportunity to take the time tested Student Leadership Practices Inventory (SLI) and discover their own best leadership behaviors. Students will be able to work with a personally assigned coach to see how these behaviors impact their everyday lives as students and leaders, and utilize social media to continue learning at their own pace.
The program should take about 20 hours in total from mid February to the end of April.  Visit uml.edu/studentactivities for full program information and the sign up link.  Link also available at www.uml.edu/clubsunder campus links.
