FYPH 102B.  First-Year Seminar: Leadership and Self Discovery   (3).

General education social and behavioral sciences course. Explores leadership through self-discovery, using Gallup’s CliftonStrengths Inventory and the perspective from Astin and Astin (2000) that… “an important leadership development challenge for higher education is to empower students, by helping them develop those special talents and attitudes that will enable them to become effective social change agents.” As students prepare their college journey, and ultimately the working world, this course helps them identify and embrace their leadership potential. First-Year Seminars do not meet a divisional requirement in the pre-Fall 2024 WSU General Education program, and can only be used in Bucket 7 for General Education starting Fall 2024.
