Leadership in Action Workshop Series
Each semester, we host a series of workshops on a variety of topics related to leadership that are free and open to all SF State students regardless of previous leadership experience on or off campus. These workshops serve as an opportunity for student leaders to further develop their own personal leadership skills and interact with other students, faculty and staff in a small setting. Students that complete the entire workshop series each semester will receive special recognition at the annual Leadership in Action Awards held in the spring semester. This is a great opportunity to gain valuable leadership experience for your resume!
