Active Leaders

Registration is now open!

Are you interested in learning more about yourself and how to work more effectively with others and in groups? Do you want to help the organizations you're a part of become more successful? If you're looking for a fun and interactive program that explores leadership concepts, while also giving you the opportunity to earn a leadership certificate to enhance your resume, this program is for you!

You do NOT need to have a leadership position to be a part of this program! The Active Leaders program is offered by Mason's Center for Leadership and Intercultural Engagement. It is a 10-week seminar (2 hours each week) facilitated by Dr. Nick Lennon (CLIE Director). The program is designed to provide a more advanced leadership opportunity for Mason students (undergraduate as well as graduate). There is no reading and no homework. The primary focus is to provide a high-quality leadership program for active student leaders at Mason. The program will be in-person (on the Fairfax campus). We will have many interactive activities and discussions to help you learn about leadership (this is NOT a lecture-based program). For more information and a list of frequently asked questions, please see below.

• “I loved it! We had a really good group of people and this is the best program I have had at Mason”
• “… a very comfortable, fun and challenging environment to learn and grow”
• “It was a very positive experience; I learned new things about myself and built new relationships”
• “It was a fun way to learn about myself, how to improve and to be able to make a difference in my community”
