Fifteen Students Chosen for Fountain-Luria Student Leadership Academy

Fifteen students have been chosen for Randolph Community College’s Fountain-Luria Student Leadership Academy based on a competitive process that considered leadership experience, leadership potential, and a letter of reference from a faculty member. The group includes eight traditional RCC students and seven Randolph Early College High School students.

The participants completed their first session on Saturday, Sept. 19, which included team-building exercises led by Jeremy Jackson, associate director of camp operations at Camp Caraway, and his wife, Michelle; and a presentation by RCC President Robert S. Shackleford on the topic “Portraits of  Leadership.” A second session scheduled for Oct. 22 will include a presentation on group dynamics by Dr. Joanne Buck, department chair for English and Humanities at Guilford Technical Community College; and a session on Servant Leadership by Dr. J.W. Kelley, RCC vice president for student services.
