"All throughout high school and college you hear about leadership. You're told to be a leader in the classroom, in your organizations, and in your community, but what does that actually mean? This concentration teaches you what it means to be a leader. You are taught what you need in order to become a leader and you are also given the chance to use what you've learned in a supportive and facilitated environment."
