Manship School well represented in 2017 Class of Leadership LSU

Manship School students made up more than a quarter of the 46 students in the Leadership LSU Class of 2017.

In all, twelve Manship students completed the Leadership LSU program. They are: Angela Bautista, Jessica Black, Ashley Boudreaux, Drake Boudreaux, Kendra Davis, Lauren Guillot, Brett Houser, Joanie Lyons, Kaylin Parker, Jacques Petit, Kennedy Sam, and Therese Walker.

 

Leadership LSU is a campus tradition during which students explore the concepts of adaptive leadership through group discussion and extracurricular lectures with LSU and community leaders. The work of adaptive leadership challenges leaders to engage others and build their own capacity to address complex social issues from within communities, rather than simply solve issues for others. The program connects students’ leadership experiences with the challenges of their future career choices, to develop a leadership network and to deepen an understanding of leadership within a larger societal context.

Members of the class followed a rigorous application and selection process and participated in bi-weekly seminars about adaptive leadership throughout the spring semester.
