11th Annual Fountain-Luria Student Leadership Academy Kicks Off with Revised Format

2017-2018 Student Leadership participants

Four Randolph Community College students are taking advantage of a new format for RCC’s Fountain-Luria Student Leadership Academy this year. A smaller cohort allowed the planners to streamline and personalize the academy, giving students more time to bond and have one-on-one time with presenters, according to Kelly Heath, SLA committee chair.

As in year’s past, the students were chosen through a competitive process that considered leadership experience, leadership potential, and a letter of reference from a faculty member.

The participants completed their first session on Saturday, Oct. 7, which included team-building exercises led by Calvin Lindsey and Britt Fleming of Camp Caraway, and a conversation with RCC President Robert S. Shackleford on the characteristics of leadership.
