ENVST 5400 - Environmental and Sustainability Leadership

Leadership in complex societies requires a diverse set of skills, including analytical ability, a sense of fairness, adroit social skills, the ability to inspire, technical mastery, an understanding of relevant administrative procedures and instructional norms, communication skills, and a wide knowledge base. Some of these skills can be learned in a traditional classroom setting; others are acquired through experience; this class is designed to provide both of these. All students in the class will serve as members of the Sustainability Leadership Council (the SLC). Membership on this Council will be limited to students enrolled in this course. The Council will essentially serve as a student ambassador for the ENVST Program, and as a liaison between the Program and ENVST majors and other students.
