Leadership & Social Innovation: Patricelli Center Impact Fellowship
CSPL 252
Fall 2024
| Section:
01
|
In this cohort-style class, student Fellows will be introduced to a select, intergenerational group of global leaders working at various levels of government, academia, media, and the arts--and across subject areas like storytelling, climate action, social justice, youth representation, museums, and more. Fellows will engage with leading CEOs, journalists, diplomats, and artists, and directly explore their work and lived experiences across scales of impact, personal growth, and institutional transformation. Course content will be delivered via the case-method and will feature facilitated conversations, live simulations, and direct engagement between global leaders and student Fellows. Assessment will be via discussion/case preparation (reviewing background content and drafting 3-5 questions per week), in-class contribution (engaging with guests and peers), attendance (all sessions are mandatory), weekly reflections (350 words, or audio/video recording), and a final 10-15-page Personal Social Impact Plan. |
