Community Service Projects
Often considered a highlight of the program, participants work in small teams on a Community Impact Project to support a local nonprofit. Projects provide an opportunity for participants to put their leadership skills into practice, build relationships with their teammates, and make a difference in the local community. Many Leadership Essentials graduates stay involved with the nonprofits they work with during the program or find other ways to give back to the community upon completion of the program.
Continuing Education Units
Loyola University Maryland awards 90 hours of professional development credits for Leadership Essentials and 9 Continuing Education Units (CEUs). A CEU is not equivalent to a graduate or undergraduate course. However it is evidence of professional study as recognized by Loyola University Maryland.
