2002 National Leadership Symposium
Defining Moments: Teaching Leadership to the Millennial Generation

July 18-21, 2002
University of Richmond
Richmond, VA

"The kids who grew up with peace and prosperity are facing their defining moment," declared Newsweek magazine on November 12, 2001. The millennial generation is coming to campus and beginning to assert their ideas about the nation and the world. More than any recent generation, they are focused on their communities and have the capacity to make a difference. How are we to respond as leadership educators? The National Leadership Symposium for summer 2002 has been designed to look at defining moments for the millennial generation as they intersect with emerging theories of leadership and ideas about the teaching/learning process. We will explore together the work that we must do to prepare ourselves to become more effective leadership educators in a world in which the very nature of leadership is changing.


Symposium Outcomes
Specific outcomes of the Symposium will include:
  • An understanding of the millennial generation, their defining moments, and how they respond to change in a post-September 11 world.
  • Explorations of emerging trends of the millennial generation, how they view leadership, and implications for teaching and learning.
  • Applications of active learning pedagogy in leadership education.
  • Development of strategies for teaching leadership as a process for creating and negotiating change and managing crises.
  • Network of practitioners and scholars developed through book reviews, skill sessions and small group work.
