Southern Wesleyan University to Host Leadership Symposium

Leadership symposium at SWU

The School of Education at Southern Wesleyan University will host a three-day leadership symposium for regional education leaders from the Upstate July 10-12.

Robert Walter, an international leadership development expert from LeaderSource SGA (www.leadersource.org), will be facilitator again for the 2013 symposium. LeaderSource SGA uses a 5C model for leadership development, which emphasizes the vital nature of Christ, community, character, calling and competencies in healthy leadership. 

This year’s leadership symposium will build upon the foundation of last year’s event, focusing on applying LeaderSource’s ConneXions model to curriculum design. An emphasis will be placed on the need to address the culture, beliefs and worldview of both leaders and stakeholders who are expected to implement change. Attendance at last year’s symposium is not required in order to participate this year.

The symposium is free of charge for those registering by April 5. For those registering online after April 5, the cost will be $20 at the door; for those registering at the symposium, the cost will be $30.
