Engineering Honors Seminar
Spring 2018

2. Zachry Leadership Program Basics
Joint partnership with Zachry Group.
Creative Leadership
Five-semesters (15 credit hours) of Leadership, Business, and Citizenship for engineering students.
32 members per cohort.
With this slide, you can tell them what the ZLP is. “Creative Leadership” is a reference to Zachry Group’s internal leadership development program they’ve been using with their executives for the last 10 years; we are modeled after it.
I think a lot of students get scared away by the extra classes. Maybe point out that the courses don’t require much outside of class work, and that the stuff we do outside of class is typically journaling, reading interesting books, and other non-homework-y stuff.

3. Benefits of the Zachry Leadership Program

Here’s where we try to hook them! Feel free to add to this list or to highlight the benefits that appreciate the most!

4. Personal Leadership Development
Self Awareness Empathy Awakening Beauty & Creativity Vocation Path to Wisdom
Here we want to give them a glimpse of how we approach leadership development. You don’t have to explain all of the leadership emphases in detail—we just want them to understand that we’re not sitting around researching a bunch of theory. We’re taking a reflective, dialogic, creative approach that allows each person to go on a personal exploration, within a learning community of like-minded people.
At the end of the program, we want the graduates to be ready to make a difference in the world, whether on a small or grand scale.
