LEADERSHAPE APPLICATIONS:  The 2012 LeaderShape Institute® will be held January 2 – 8 at the Alberta Ford Center.  This is a great opportunity available for Michigan Tech students!  LeaderShape® is an intensive week-long leadership development experience that is designed to help students to “lead with integrity.”  Students work in large and small groups as they learn and teach one another through interactive lectures, activities, and discussions.  There is a minimal fee of $100 for the Institute that helps offset the cost of all transportation, lodging, and meals which will be provided to participants.  Selected students are expected to stay at the Alberta Ford Center for the duration of the Institute.  If you would like to apply for LeaderShape® 2012 the application can be found at: http://www.sa.mtu.edu/stulife/leadership/leadershape/what_is_leadershape.html.
