Practical Workshops for Future Leaders
The Leadership Certificate Program gives Grand Valley students the opportunity to earn a prestigious credential by participating in a series of skills-based workshops. Students who are driven to develop their leadership knowledge and capabilities can earn their certificate at any time during their academic career by attending four core workshops, two electives, and the university's annual Etiquette Dinner. Taught by Hauenstein Center Director Gleaves Whitney and Associate Director Brian Flanagan, the core workshops are designed to give students a broad view of leadership by using ancient and modern historical examples to illustrate timeless lessons of self-leadership, team leadership, and organizational leadership.
