Student Leadership Development

University of Bridgeport believes that anyone can be a leader, regardless of position. 领导力是个人和团体朝着积极变化而努力的过程,可以通过许多不同的方式来表现. To be an effective leader, individuals must know themselves and act in a manner consistent with their values.

UB为学生提供了探索和发展他们领导潜力的机会. We believe that:

  • Leadership is a process by which individuals and groups work toward positive change.
  • 为了成为一个有效的领导者,个人必须了解自己,并以一种与他们的价值观一致的方式行事.
  • Anyone can be a leader, regardless of position or role.
  • Leadership is demonstrated in different ways, depending on the individual and situation.

校园里所有的领导机会都植根于我们的核心领导能力,以便让学生建立必要的技能,成为一名成功的学生领袖, as well as a successful professional upon graduation!

Student Leadership Institute

通过我们的证书课程成为更好的领导者:学生领导力学院(SLI)成立于2016年春季,是一个两级领导力发展证书课程,旨在帮助学生提高个人和组织的成功. SLI allows University of Bridgeport students of all levels to develop self-awareness, learn strategies to improve leadership skills, and directly apply competencies to their leadership work. Through retreats, interactive workshops, and activities, students will build on six competency areas including community engagement, reasoning and thought, communication, group dynamics, personal behavior, and self-awareness and development.
