In between the residency sessions, students will take advantage of AUSB’s virtual online classroom that links students and faculty for ongoing study, enabling students to fit this important educational opportunity into their busy lives.
Curriculum
The curriculum will include the history and status of women as leaders in individual fields of interest, with particular focus on the issues that support or hinder that achievement. Important issues related to economic and social justice; the interrelationship of business, public/political, and non-profit venues; work-life balance, self-care, and mentoring/networking will be closely examined.
Students will create and present individual leadership projects in collaboration with faculty, mentors, and peers; and complete a plan to fulfill their individual future leadership goals.
