The University of Southern Maine's Lewiston-Auburn College
(LAC) will host an information session April 6 for the Master
of Arts program in Leadership Studies (MLS). This innovative
program which began last fall, provides opportunities for
organizational and community leaders to build a deep understanding
of the dynamics of leadership, how leadership interacts with
other human dynamics, and the role of the leader in society.
The mission of the program is to develop professionals who
- understand the nature of human relationships
- appreciate the impact individuals can have on society
- exercise effective, ethical leadership in organizations
and communities in the context of globalization
"The program is designed around a set of compelling
outcomes: leadership, knowledge, skills, and orientation,"
says Dr. Marv Druker, associate professor at LAC. "Students
study leadership through the humanities and social sciences,
as well as by examination of leadership research and theory."
The MLS coursework integrates scholarship with fieldwork application
to help students advance their skills in integrative analytic
thinking and to develop their understanding of communities
and organizations within a complex global society. International
study for short, intensive courses designed for working students
is also available.
The MLS program is designed to enable working adults to pursue
it on a part-time basis. Courses meet on a weekly basis and
are scheduled in the late afternoon and evening.
The information session will be held Tuesday, April 6, from
6:30 to 8:00 p.m., at the College on Westminster Street in
Lewiston. Anyone interested in attending is asked to call
the College at 753-6500. Applications for the MLS program
are currently being accepted on a rolling basis. Application
materials can be requested from the College or by downloading
them from the web site at usm.maine.edu/lac/academic.
