New PRL students complete first class!

Time flies in an accelerated program! The fall 08 PRL students have already completed their first course. We met for the final time this week and the students now have about a week and a half off before the second class session begins.

I am busy grading students' final papers which is something I enjoy. This final paper, in Leadership and Ethics, is a reflective paper wherein students focus on key aspects of their learning in this first course. Some students write about a specific theory and talk about how they applied it and how that has impacted their leadership approach. Other students write more about personal transitions, for example, gaining confidence as a master's student and how that has translated to increased confidence on the job. Others talk about the power of studying in a leadership program, surrounded by other students who are emerging and current leaders in their field and the power of this collaboration. This is all very exciting!

Until next time,
Harriet
