2000 National Leadership Symposium
A New Millennium for Theory and Practice:
Civic Leadership, Servant Leadership, and Character Leadership

July 20-23, 2000
University of Richmond
Richmond, VA

At the dawn of the new millennium, we are confronted with unique phenomena, vague predictions and uncertain outcomes within the evolvoing discipline of leadership studies. The overall goal of the 10th annual National Leadership Symposium is to address the theoretical ground upon which the study and practice of undergraduate leadership education stands. An objective is to clarify and shape the conceptual diversity that tends to cloud our understanding of the complex relationship between leadership theory and practice. The program will center on conversations and applications of civic, servant, and character leadership development.


Symposium Outcomes
The symposium, through its unique Scholars-in-Residence format, will provide delegates the opportunity for intellectual exchange with educators in the field. Intended outcomes of the three-day Symposium are:
  • Illumination of commonalities between scholars, theorists and practitioners as a way of thinking about our role as educators.
  • Application of leadership theory and practice as a guide to the creation of leadership instructional tools for both the academic and co-curricular setting.
  • Exploration of ways to integrate leadership theories and practices.
  • Discussion of the complex nature of leadership from diverse perspectives.
  • Creation of networks developed through book review, skill sessions and small group work.
  • Investigation into new research, evaluation and assessment methods that may help us shape leadership education in the future.
