What are OPALs leadership development activities?
A. OPAL sponsors the Leadership Discovery Program, a spring quarter program for 35 first year students who attend a retreat and meet for six seminars to help new students to become effective campus leaders. We also offer the Diversity Peer Program, a student retreat that focuses on creating social change. Finally, OPAL sponsors separate summer leadership retreat for athletes and Greek leaders. Throughout the year, OPAL sponsors various mentoring programs. These include “Older and Wiser” and “Women in Business”. In addition, we support and mentor leaders of many student organizations. OPAL staff emphasizes self-care and wellness in their promotion of effective leadership. In short, students can contact us for advice in effective leadership, self-care and wellness, and building sustainable student organizations.
