Build leadership skills through Adams Academy

The Adams Academy is a program of the Donald V. Adams Leadership Institute. The yearlong program is designed to enhance students’ understanding of leadership at the individual, group, and societal levels through monthly educational workshops and activities. Adams Academy is for upper-level undergraduate students. Students who are interested in participating should attend one of the following informational sessions this week:

  • Tomorrow at 3 p.m., Olmsted conference rooms
  • Thursday at 5 p.m., Olmsted conference rooms

Benefits of Joining the Adams Academy

  • Learn more about your strengths as a leader
  • Build skill in leading and inspiring a team
  • Understand your potential to have an impact on our global community
  • Gain access to special events and leadership opportunities
  • Receive a rad blue jacket and T-shirt (not the only reason to join, but still cool)

Joining the Adams Academy requires a commitment to attend monthly leadership workshops, attendance at the fall and spring Sussman Leadership Conferences, monthly reflection essays, and submission of a final reflection summary.
