National sessions of the LeaderShape Institute are held each year in Champaign, Illinois; however, to allow more students the opportunity to benefit from the LeaderShape experience, campus sessions of the LeaderShape Institute are held at locations across the country. Since 2003, the University of Florida has collaborated with other Florida colleges and universities to coordinate a 6-day LeaderShape Institute session to allow Florida college students the opportunity to share an innovative leadership education and development experience with a diverse group of participants.
The LeaderShape Florida Institute will be held May 6-11 at Camp Kulaqua in High Spring, Fl. All participants will stay at the camp for the entire 6-day retreat and actively engage and participate in all of the LeaderShape activities. LeaderShape participant will be part of a “Learning Community,” which will consist of 50-60 students from various Florida colleges and LeaderShape Institute facilitators who will meet together for lectures, discussions, activities, and sharing. In addition, participants will be part of a “Family Cluster,” which will be comprised of 8-12 students from the Learning Community as well as a “Cluster Facilitator” who will be a professional staff member from one of the Florida institutes and trained as a LeaderShape facilitator. This family cluster will serve as a support group for participants and the cluster facilitator will reinforce the ideas and skills being taught by the LeaderShape facilitators.
UF’s Division of Student Affairs is sponsoring motivated students who
are committed to learning about leadership and promoting leadership development
among UF students to attend this year’s LeaderShape Florida Institute,
