Leadership Weekend
Leadership Weekend is a weekend devoted to the development of current and upcoming student leaders at Fordham. This off-campus retreat takes place during the beginning of the year to adequately prepare student leaders for their unique roles and positions in organizations on campus. Though the retreat is rooted in training for leadership at Fordham, much of Leadership Weekend is beneficial for a developing leadership potential beyond Fordham as well.
Typically, Leadership Weekend centers on a single theme, which sets the tone for the weekend. Past weekend themes have been Where Stars Are Born and the Nuts and Bolts of Effective Leadership. While the theme may change, the message of ethical leadership and its many different applications in peer relationships and business remains the consistent message. Students return after a weekend away full of activities, seminars, a ropes course, and personal time with a greater understanding of their own potential and that of those around them. Lead on!
Recent versions of Leadership Weekend have taken place at Camp Deer Run in Pine Bush, New York. Sessions were run by student leaders and administrators on topics such as ethical leadership, publicity and promotions, and how to run a successful club. Stay tuned for more information about Leadership Weekend 2010!
