  • Leadership Programs

    "A leader is not necessarily someone who holds some formal position of leadership or who is perceived as a leader by others. Rather, a leader is one who is able to affect positive change for the betterment of others, the community and society."

    The Office of Student Activities fosters personal growth and community development to promote learning, develop talents and prepare students to become thoughtful members of their communities.  This year, leadership development programs kicked off with the Annual Leadership Summit.  This half-day conference was designed to have something for everyone featuring break-out sessions for all levels of leadership experience.  It was also a great place to get information about additional programs offered this semester and this year!

    The office of Student Activities also provides the following leadership workshops and activities.

    • Annual Leadership Summit - This one day conference is designed to serve as the kick off for co-curricular leadership development activities offered through the Office of Student Leadership Development and Campus Activities. 
    • Words of Wisdom Dinners - The Words of Wisdom dinners provide an opportunity for a small group of students to join area leaders for dinner as they share their stories, experiences and wisdom.
    • The Leadership Challenge - The Hamline Leadership Challenge is based on the popular Leadership Challenge book that outlines the Five Practices of Exemplary Leaders
    • Student Activities Awards - This annual event provides an opportunity for students to be recognized for their contributions to the Hamline community through involvement in co-curricular activities including student organizations, leadership development programs, leadership positions, and campus employment.
    • The Annual 100 Who Influence Program - This annual program provides campus student leaders from all areas an opportunity to spend an evening with President Hanson, members of the President's staff and the Hamline University Board of Trustees. This program is provided in partnership with the Hamline Undergraduate Student Congress.
    • Day At the Capitol - This program gives students a chance to experience the political process of lobbying. Students are provided information and given an opportunity to lobby on behalf of the Minnesota State Grant Program. This event also gives students the chance to interact with Hamline alumni currently working in politics. This experience is provided in partnership with the Minnesota Private College Council
    • Women's Leadership Retreat - Learn more here. - The Women's Leadership Retreat is an overnight experience for female undergraduate students, where the group focuses on the skills and challenges of being a female leader - while also building a network of resources.

    The leadership development programs focus on the development of individual skills.  Each program is designed to operate independently while also supporting each other through opportunities to apply gained knowledge, skills, and abilities.
