This IAP, the MIT Leadership Center and the Office of Student Life
Programs are offering you a new resource for training and transitioning
your student group's rising leaders. This 6-session seminar series
promises to be an excellent opportunity to prepare incoming leaders for
the challenges they'll face in their new positions - specifically,
they'll learn about recruiting for your group, effective marketing
skills, and how make positive changes on campus. <br><br>
The curriculum was designed with substantial input from members of
the student body and will be taught by world-renowned faculty from the
Sloan School of Management. Imagine how useful it would be if you
started your term as president knowing even half of what you know
now! "Leading and Changing Campus Organizations" is meant
to help incoming officers learn many of the practical skills that
generally come with months of experience, by providing:<br><br>
+ Assistance in discovering their personal leadership style<br>
+ Strategies for combatting member apathy<br>
+ Tips on how to harness a vision and turn it into a reality<br>
+ Practical strategies for successfully marketing and recruiting for your
group<br><br>
As an outgoing president, you are also welcome to attend this series -
not only will you learn about how to ensure continuity in chapter
projects and initiatives once your term has ended, but you'll be able to
actively work with your student group's incoming leadership and prepare
for a great spring term.<br><br>
What are the next steps?<br><br>
Anyone who is an incoming leader in your group (or who wants to be one)
should register to attend this series. Enrollment is open, but advanced
registration is required. To register for the course, send your name to

Make sure you let your student group know about this lecture series ASAP.
