This course has been updated for 2018.

The Foundations of Leadership (FOL) program reflects the recognition that leadership is not dependent on job title or rank; that persons at any level can and should develop and practice leadership skills. Participation in class requires completion of a brief assignment prior to the start of class. (Students will receive information and instructions via e-mail at least one week prior to the first day of class). Completion of a brief written assignment on the last day of class is also required for successful completion of the program.
