Leadership Development:

Roosevelt Empowering Values, Excellence, and Leadership (REVEAL)
Center for Student Involvement

Are you a leader? We think you are. We believe there is a leader within each and every one of our students. Being a leader begins with self discovery, and in the Center for Student Involvement we’re here to help you REVEAL the leader within. We offer three programs to help with your discovery, The LEAD Program, the Eleanor Roosevelt Society and the Leadership Summit. These programs were created to enhance student’s leadership skills as well as to connect you to campus. 

LEAD: Leaders Evolving And Developing

LEAD is a leadership development workshop series, designed for students of all levels and experiences to explore different avenues within the word “leadership.” The LEAD Program is a semester-long commitment; each semester, a different topic is explored through a variety of exciting and interactive workshops facilitated by RU faculty and staff.

Leadership Summit

Leadership Summit 2009 participants

Leadership development is important to the Roosevelt community. Although we have many ways for students to engage in leadership development opportunities here on campus, there is so much more that we can do.   The Center for Student Involvement, with guidance from the Leadership Summit Advisory Team, sponsor the Leadership Summit as way to promote leadership development, self-reflection, social justice, and to overall build better partnerships between students and administrators.

The Leadership Summit is a weekend, overnight retreat held off campus. The Summit focuses on topics including leadership development, social justice, and how to be better agents of positive, social change. Activities consist of large and small group discussions, concurrent and interactive workshops, and plenty of team-building and self-reflection. And most importantly, students have the opportunity to create a collective action plan to bring back and implement on campus.

The February 2009 Leadership Summit was at Camp McLean in Burlington, Wisconsin.  Contact the Center for Student Involvement at 312-341-2015 or csi@roosevelt.edu for information about the 2010 Summit.
