Welcome To LEAD At Oneonta

LEAD @ Oneonta is a comprehensive leadership program based on current research
and the Council for Advancement of Standards (CAS). It is designed to provide individual students an opportunity to explore leadership in a manner that gives them great breadth while allowing them to focus on areas important to them personally.

The Programs Main Goals are to:

• Recognize student leaders
• Better prepare students for life after college
• Provide students with a leadership record that can be submitted to potential employers
• Help students identify and meet specific leadership outcomes
• Provide a comprehensive picture of leadership and the skills needed to be a
  good leader
• Provide support to those who advise and support student leaders

Some highlights and assumptions:

• All students can participate if they choose
• A record of leadership activities will be compiled online for each student
• Once a student has begun the program, they will receive periodic reminders of their progress and what is required to take the next step(s)
• As students complete a leadership level (silver/gold/platinum), they will receive certificates and other forms of recognition
• Completion of a leadership level will be recognized on campus as a kind of credential that can be used when running for office, applying for STEP funding, writing a resume, etc
• Each level of certification requires a mix of programmatic and experiential leadership opportunities that expand the students’ theoretical and practical knowledge of leadership
