This minor aims to prepare ROTC students for multi-organizational leadership in regional, national and global contexts. It seeks to give them the confidence to exercise leadership in their careers, community and personal life. In these courses they will also gain knowledge about collaborative and inclusive facilitation, ethical decision-making and transformative leadership. Students will not find a typical classroom experience. Instead, this program is designed to provide them with an in-depth understanding of army multi-domain doctrine, which is emulated in both public and private sectors of business. Students will be exposed to fundamental leadership tenets required for multi-organization operations such as respect, rapport, knowledge of partners, patience, mission focus, teambuilding, trust and confidence. Students will use these tenets in classroom experiences and field instruction to integrate multi-organization entities to synchronize a joint approach for success.
