Transforming students into professionals

 

The Leadership and Communication Center’s mission is to help transform students into professionals by supporting LCB students and faculty in the following areas:

  • Leadership
  • Communication - writing, presentations, cross-cultural communication
  • Teams
  • Ethics Education DSC_0375.JPG
  • Experiential Education

We offer this support through:

  • Our core course, BA352 - Leadership and Communication 
  • Our Practicum course, BA430 - Leadership in Action
  • Faculty Workshops
  • Faculty Consultation
  • OMBA Leadership Program
The Center kicks its 2009-10 year off by facilitating Prologue for new MBA students.  During this intensive 2-week program, new MBA students get a crash course in teams, persuasive communication, ethics, case analysis and critical thinking.  They start with a fun and instructive day led by some masters of using improvisation in business, On Your Feet.  They will end with a raft trip on the McKenzie River.  In between, they will work in teams to understand, solve and present a written and oral solution to a complex, global case.  Oh, and they will give back to the community by performing community service at Mt. Pisgah Arboretum.
