LeaderShape Institute – a Trinity & St. Mary’s
University Collaboration
Beginning in 2007, Trinity and St. Mary’s Universities
began collaborating in hosting the LeaderShape Institute for our students.
From May 13-18, 2007, nearly 60 students from both universities trekked out
to the John Newcombe Tennis Ranch in New Braunfels for an intensive week of
learning, leadership development and memory-making.
LeaderShape is a nationally recognized leadership
program that seeks to develop the leadership capacity of participants. The
learning outcomes for LeaderShape include:
Increasing the commitment to acting consistently with
core ethical values, personal values and convictions;
Enhancing capabilities to develop and enrich
relationships as well as strengthen their commitment to respecting the
dignity and contributions of all people;
Embracing a belief in a healthy disregard for the
impossible; and
Developing the capability to produce extraordinary
results.
You can learn more about LeaderShape at www.leadershape.org.
We anticipate jointly hosting another session of the
LeaderShape Institute in May 2008. Watch this page for additional details
and announcements. Until then, you can read about qualifications and other
logistics from last year’s program below.
Qualifications
There is an application process to select up to 25
students to attend the Institute. To be eligible to attend LeaderShape, the
following criteria must be met: minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5, be in “good
standing” (academically and judicially), and have some experience in a
leadership setting during college. Applicants must also be returning to
Trinity for at least the following fall semester.
Cost to Attend
Students selected to attend LeaderShape will be asked
to pay $100 of their own funds as a sign of their commitment to attend. This
Institute costs approximately $1,450 + travel to attend nationally and about
$700 regionally, so we are pleased to offer this opportunity to our students
at a low cost. Students are allowed to seek up to $50 of support from their
student organization or department to help defray costs. All other costs
(lodging, food, travel and materials) are included at no expense to the
student.
After a student has been selected to attend and has
placed a deposit on file, there will be no refunds. Further, if a student
declines to attend after April 2, the student will forfeit the $100 deposit
and be required to find a replacement or pay an additional cancellation
penalty of $200.
Additional Notes
Students selected to attend will have the opportunity
to store their belongings on campus after finals and throughout the
LeaderShape Institute. Individual arrangements will be made after student
attendees have been announced, including an extension time in the residence
halls after finals have ended.
The Institute will be held at the John Newcombe Tennis
Ranch in New Braunfels, Texas. Transportation between San Antonio and New
Braunfels will be provided to all participants.
