The Scranton Emerging Leaders Program is looking for students who wish to develop and enhance their leadership skills to participate in the program this spring.

SEL 1 began in the spring of 2003 and it's more than 500 alumni are some of the most respected student leaders on campus. SEL 1 is comprised of eight consecutive sessions. Each session will last approximately one and a half hours and will cover such topics as: The Social Change Model of Leadership, Leadership Style and Assessment, Communication Skills, Interpersonal Skills, Assertiveness, Motivating Self and Others, Appreciating Differences, Next Steps, and Leadership Action Plan.

SEL alumni have commented that this interactive experience is fun and has challenged them to grow. They made friends with the other leaders in class, learned a great deal about themselves; their strengths and potential and what areas they want to grow in. They enjoyed interacting and getting to know the workshop staff, the facilitator team and also the student facilitators who are SEL alumni.

There are no fees or costs to participating in the program. Classes begin the week of Feb. 14. Please register by Wednesday, Feb. 9, at the following link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/B9XWHCC. 

If you have any questions about the program, e-mail leadership@scranton.edu.

The Admissions Office needs hosts for the upcoming Royal Nights program. Royal Nights allows accepted high school seniors to experience life as a Scranton student, and get the feel of our campus community.

The Royal Nights students will arrive on a Sunday between 3 - 4:30 p.m. and participate in planned activities that evening. They will stay overnight with a student host, and on Monday, they will attend classes and depart late in the afternoon. We are looking for current students who live on campus to host the Royal Nights guests in their rooms. Hosts meet students when they arrive on Sunday afternoon, have the option to participate in the different activities that evening, provide sleeping space, and help the Royal Night students checkout on Monday afternoon.

Please consider this opportunity to show your Scranton pride. Plus, you will receive two free movie tickets for each weekend you host!
