New to LEAD IU
LEAD IU provides participants with tools and resources to chart a path to leadership through curricular and co-curricular offerings. Through participation, students develop skills, acquire knowledge, build relationships, and gain awareness of available opportunities.
LEAD IU offers a starting point: a core of programs that, based on an individual’s current involvement, will help take her or him to the next level. From the starting point, students choose from curricular and co-curricular programs to build their leadership skills.
Here is a list of all Fall 2009 LEAD IU Courses. LEAD IU courses are offered through the School of Education. LEAD IU courses are listed on OneStart as EDUC-U49. Many of these courses also qualify for the Minor in Leadership offered by the School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation (HPER). Contact us for specific questions at leadiu@indiana.edu
