LEADERSHIP EMORY Your guide to getting involved at Emory and developing your own leadership potential

An initiative of the Division of Campus Life coordinated by the Office of Service and Leadership

WELCOME TO LEADERSHIP EMORY!

Leadership Emory is an initiative of the Division of Campus Life designed to unify all student leadership development at Emory. Our goal is that all students, upon graduation, embody the Five Core Tenets of Leadership at Emory; value civic engagement; and understand that leadership is a lifelong process. Leadership Emory is for everyone, and the Division of Student Life and Office of Student Leadership and Service (OSLS) are resources all students can use to get engaged in meaningful leadership development and service-learning experiences. Through its focus on transformational student learning, the Division of Campus Life provides students with an intentional road map to help guide their development through Leadership Emory. The road map outlines each year as an Emory student and features goals (and ways to achieve those goals) based on corresponding Leadership Emory tenets. The Leadership Emory tenets are developmental themes that students can use not just at Emory, but throughout their lives. As students explore each theme in deeper, more meaningful ways, they will grow into stronger and more effective leaders. While leadership learning is a lifelong process, it is our hope that students will develop within each of the themes significantly during their time at Emory. The Five Core Tenets of Leadership at Emory originally were developed by the Oxford College Pierce Institute and are based on the Social Change Model of Leadership. The Five Core Tenets are: I. II. III. IV. V.

Awareness of Self and Empathy for Others Ethical Leadership Principles and Practices Collaboration and Problem Solving Sharing the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Commitment to Actionâ&#x20AC;? Ethical Engagement and Citizenship

The Division of Campus Life and OSLS look forward to working with all students to help them develop the Five Core Tenets of Leadership at Emory as they explore the link between ethical leadership and civic engagement.

LEADERSHIP EMORY

OVERVIEW Leadership Emory, an initiative developed by the Division of Campus Life and coordinated by the Office of Student Leadership and Service (OSLS), serves to unify the leadership experience for all Emory students. Leadership Emory helps students grow into the leaders the university wants them to be. Nearly every program in Campus Life—from Athletics and Recreation to Multicultural Programs and Services—provides multiple opportunities for leadership development and teaches students valuable leadership lessons they may take into the world after graduation. Through Leadership Emory, we have created a unifying language that introduces the Five Core Tenets of Leadership: Awareness of Self and Empathy with Others, Ethical Leadership Principles and Practices, Collaboration and Problem Solving, Sharing the Commitment to Action, and Ethical Engagement and Citizenship. Now, it is up to each student to take the next step and forge their Leadership Emory path. LEADERSHIP EMORY MISSION Leadership Emory unites the Emory community in teaching common elements of leadership that emphasize the important link between ethical leadership and civic engagement. LEADERSHIP EMORY VISION All undergraduates will embody the Five Core Tenets of Leadership at Emory, value their own civic engagement, and understand that leadership is a lifelong process. OSLS VISION We envision Emory as a community of scholars equipped with the knowledge and skills to affect positive change. OSLS MISSION The OSLS empowers students to serve the global community as ethical leaders committed to lifelong learning and civic engagement. CAMPUS LIFE’S MISSION AND VISION The Division of Campus Life strengthens and enhances Emory University as a community of learning through our programs, activities, services, and facilities. We create a welcoming and supportive environment with a commitment to model and teach holistic well-being, ethical leadership, community service, and global citizenship.

L E A DE R S H I P E M O RY

Authentic leadership affects change on behalf of others and society, no matter one’s vocation or position. Leadership is collaborative, and true leaders devote their lives to learning continually and becoming better leaders through time. Based on the theoretical leadership framework of the Social Change Model of Leadership, the Division of Campus Life has identified Five Core Tenets of Leadership at Emory. These umbrella themes include a series of specific skills with information available at www.lead.emory.edu. The Five Core Tenets are:
