Leadership OU

Established in 2013, 领导能力大学提供领导能力, mentoring, and networking opportunities for undergraduate students by connecting them to successful OU alumni through two main methods -- an exclusive series of alumni speakers and a formal mentorship program. Participants are part of a cohort experience spanning an eight month period from September to April. The Leadership OU program values diverse representation of its student and alumni participants; emphasizing the value of networking with other students or alumni who don’t share similar backgrounds, experiences, or fields of study. 成功完成领导力公开课程要求后, 学生将获得一个文凭框架. Watch the Leadership OU video to learn more.

Mentoring Program:

The mentorship program allows Oakland University alumni to share their experiences with student leaders preparing for the professional world. Each student is paired with an alumni mentor based on similar interests and meet on a monthly basis throughout the duration of the program. Student-alumni pairs meet one-on-one over activities such as job shadowing, lunch or coffee, 韦德体育app官网活动, video chat, or phone calls. Students and their mentors discuss topics such as life as a graduate of Oakland University, 短期和长期的职业目标, 学生到专业的转变, hobbies, interests, etc. 所有的学生/导师关系都是不同的, yet many duos keep in contact long after the formal conclusion of the program.

Speaker Series:
Leadership OU students attend a total of seven sessions on a once per month basis featuring prominent alumni speakers who live and work in the surrounding metropolitan community. Past speakers have included Oakland University alumni employed at Stellantis Automobiles, Beaumont Hospital, 底特律经济增长公司, Curve Detroit, ABB机器人和许多其他公司. Please see “Schedule” tab for the current Leadership OU speaker schedule.

配合领导力课程的整体主题, 演讲者将他们的演讲重点放在如何发挥领导力上, mentoring, and networking have played critical roles in their professional careers. Sessions take place at the workplace of the alumni speaker where students are exposed to experiences such as leadership team panels and behind-the-scenes tours. Leadership OU sessions provide an intimate and interactive setting for alumni and students.

Testimonials

“As a student, 欧大不仅给我介绍了一位关怀我的导师, new peers, 新职业专业人士, 新的工作机会, and amazing memories, but Leadership OU changed how I view myself as a leader and instilled newfounded confidence in me. Leadership OU allowed me to gain wisdom from alumni who have lived through transitioning from student-professional and allowed me to have fun while doing it!”
- Kaylee Hall,预计2023年毕业,学生,2020-2021年队列

“我喜欢成为公开大学领导力项目的导师. I was in the 2016 cohort, and I still keep in contact with my mentee to this day. I got a chance to work with an amazing individual and impart my knowledge of the professional world and life outside of college. 在这个过程中,我自己也学到了很多.”
- Shaun Moore,导师,SEHS 2015,队列2016-2017

“I am a true believer in the transformational power of this award-winning program. The benefits of sharing real life experiences and having the opportunity to learn “outside the book” makes participation a win-win for both the mentors and the student mentees. Over the years I have had the opportunity to observe the benefits of this real world knowledge in the success of the student mentees after graduation. I was privileged to speak to Leadership OU and share the real world lessons of my 35 year career in banking and investments. Leadership OU Rocks!”
——Gary Brancaleone, 1982年SBA, 2014-2015届演讲者

“领导力在我心中占有特殊的地位. 作为一名被选为试点项目一部分的学生, my mentor helped navigate me through life both professionally and personally as I prepared to graduate. Years later, I applied to be a mentor, becoming the first mentee to become a mentor. 在这段时间里,这个项目对我来说变得更加特别. My mentee and I worked through the fears and challenges that arise when graduating. Through this, we got to know each other as people and helped each other grow. 这看起来也不像无聊的会议, we talked about life, goals, academics, 晚餐时还有很多, yoga, calls/texts, and more. 即使在节目结束后,我们也保持着联系. I honestly feel so fortunate to have been a part of this program and highly recommend it to others."
- Taylor Eberhart,中科院2015级,2013-2014级学生,2019-2020级导师

“Being a part of Leadership OU was one of my favorite experiences while being at OU. 我喜欢和我的导师建立关系, Justin, and it was great to have his opinions during a transitional period in my life. Getting to hear from the amazing alumni speakers was always inspiring and shows how much can be done with an OU degree. 我甚至和Gary B .建立了很好的友谊. and Valiena A. thanks to LOU. If you are looking to build lasting relationships and better yourself professionally, 那么领导力开放大学是一个很好的方法!"
- Aaron Helander, SBA 2020, BIS 2017, 2015-2016届学生
