Leadership Workshops
Leadership Workshops, formerly known as Leadershops, are available for all Elon students to advance their leadership knowledge and skills. These 1-hour experiences help you understand yourself as a leader, how to work effectively with others, and how to create change. You can sign up for a Leadership Workshop via the Center for Leadership’s PhoenixCONNECT page!
These leadership experiences have been intentionally designed to provide you with an opportunity to connect with fellow students, explore concepts of leadership, reflect on your leadership capacity, and identify goals and future opportunities.
