mover Department of Leadership Studies on the Move Again (top) (Added 7/17/06)

For a year now the Leadership Studies Department has been residing in 200 Picken Hall as a result of the renovation of the second floor in McCartney Hall. The department plans to move back to its permanent location on the 2nd and 3rd of August. The Center for Civic Leadership will remain in Picken Hall along with Dr. Brungardt, who serves as the Executive Director of the Center. Once again, while the locations of the faculty and staff will change, students will still be able to contact them at the same phone numbers and email addresses. The main office will be located in MC 224. Below is a list of the faculty members and their new office locations. As many of you know, we enjoy visiting with students, so if you happen to be in the neighborhood, stop by and check out our new home!

Stop Using the Save Button (top) (Added 3/27/06)
stoplight

When taking an exam on Blackboard, you will find two buttons at the bottom of the page. One is the "Submit" button, and the other is the "Save" button. The e-Leadership.net Support Staff is asking you to please not use the "Save" button. Clicking the "Save" button can cause the window to lock up or your test to freeze, making it probable that your questions will not actually be saved. If you wish to save your answers, it would be best for you to copy and paste your answers into a document that you can save separately from your test. In order for you to successfully submit your test to your instructor for grading, please only use the "Submit" button.

Summer / Fall '06 Registration (top) (Added 3/13/06)

Early enrollment for the 2006 summer and fall semesters is right around the corner. We are thrilled with the growing number of students, both on and off campus, in the Department of Leadership Studies. We now have over 200 majors in our program. Because of this rapid growth and large enrollment, it is mandatory that you schedule an appointment with your advisor before enrolling. In order to help speed up the enrollment process, please have a tentative class schedule outlined before meeting with your advisor. Early enrollment dates are as follows:

March 28 – Seniors A-M
March 29 – Seniors N-Z
March 30 – Juniors A-M
April 3 – Juniors N-Z
April 5 – Sophomores A-M
April 6 – Sophomores N-Z
April 11 – Freshmen A-Z

*Keep in mind that classes fill up fast and if you fail to pre-enroll by your assigned date, it is possible that classes will be full. In addition, summer 2006 tuition is due June 1st to the Student Fiscal Services Office. Classes will be dropped for any students who fail to finalize enrollment by the selected date. Fall’s due date has yet to be determined so please pay close attention in the months to follow.

Please contact your advisor by phone or e-mail to set up an appointment.

Choosing Classes Wisely (top) (Added 11/2/05)

As you work through your program of study, it is important to choose your classes wisely. Working closely with your advisor is an important part of this process, but it is also important for students to take a look at the bigger picture when they are planning out their degree programs. Many students decide which classes they want to take before they meet with their advisor, and it is easy for the advisor to just accept their recommendations without taking a closer look at their program of study.

The problem is not that students don't know what they need, the problem is that they don't realize when the classes are offered. It is important for students to consider what classes will be offered when and which classes are considered pre-requisites to others. By doing this, students will not be caught off guard in their final semesters and not be able to take the classes they need to graduate. For a listing of when virtual classes are offered from the Leadership Studies Department, please see the course offerings schedule in the department info section of our website.
