Garthwait Leadership Center

👐 Last Tuesday, we welcomed our Fall leadership certificate program participants with an opening session full of fun initiatives and insightful discussions. Students had an exciting time getting to know each other and their leadership educators, learning about program goals, their personal strengths, and how to apply them to maximize their growth 📝

💗 Stay tuned for more of these laughs and “aha” moments as the programs go forward this semester!
