Emerging Leaders Program Final Projects

For the Emerging Leaders Program final project each small group was assigned a topic at random that related to the Case community.

This year's topics included:

• Sustainability
• School Spirit/Pride
• Disrespect for Campus Property
• Academic Plagiarism
• Technology and Socialization
• Contributing to the Cleveland Community
• Laptop and Cell Phone Use in the Classroom
• Over-involvement
• Gender Inequities
• Influence of the Family
• Copyright Infringement and Illegal Downloading

Groups were asked to define their topic and research its status, impact, and relevance in the Case community. Based on their findings, groups created recommendations on how to address their topic through the lens of the 5 exemplary practices of leadership:

1. Model the Way
2. Inspire a Shared Vision
3. Challenge the Process
4. Enable Others to Act
5. Encourage the Heart
