Leadership and Beyond Background
Leadership and Beyond
Leadership and Beyond examines and develops leadership skills while introducing you to student life at Georgetown. This program is selective and available for first-year students only. The program is run by student leaders at Georgetown in conjunction with the Georgetown Office of Leadership Development in the Center for Student Programs. We welcome applicants with any leadership experience to apply.
Leadership and Beyond (L&B) focuses on Citizen and Servant Leadership at Georgetown as well as in the community at large. L&B facilitates the exploration of your personal leadership style and the ways in which leadership can be thought about and acted upon- not only during your time at Georgetown, but after your college experience.
Participants will arrive on campus five days before New Student Orientation to participate in the program which will include a variety of leadership experiences. Activities focus on group dynamics, motivation, goal setting, time management, risk taking, and coalition building. The team experience culminates in both an outdoor activity and a service project that will challenge the skills you have built with your fellow participants during the entire week.
Throughout the program you will have the opportunity to interact and share ideas with upper-class mentors who have already experienced Georgetown life and are active leaders in our community. The mentor to participant ratio is 1:2 so there will be plenty of time to meet and form bonds with upper-class students.
The “beyond” in Leadership & Beyond is a series of monthly workshops during the first semester focusing on different topics about leadership development and serve as an opportunity to keep the conversations going and cement friendships that have formed.
