Community & Nonprofit Leadership Major Approved As of early March, there is now a major at Mars Hill University specifically for students who want to work in the world of nonprofit organizations and community development. According to Deb Myers, director of the Center for Community Engagement, the community and nonprofit leadership major prepares students to work in the private nonprofit and public sectors and to pursue graduate study in areas like nonprofit management, social entrepreneurship, public policy, and more. “Students in this major will develop their abilities to make positive change in their community, region,

and the world, learn to work effectively with people different from themselves, and enact principles of social justice,” she said. The interdisciplinary major includes courses on sociology, business, diversity & inequalities, working in community and government organizations and more. “Through academic study, community engagement, extensive fieldwork and a senior internship, students will pursue their personal interests and develop a strong portfolio of skills and references that will propel them to launch successful careers,” Myers said.
