New Elective Offered this Spring- ONLINE

MBA 899, Section 401- Advanced Leadership, will be offered online this Spring 2013 semester.  This new elective was developed after the success of the Inaugural Dean’s Leadership Certificate last year.  Instead of offering the Dean’s Leadership Certificate separately, it will now be awarded upon the completion of this elective course.
Course Description:
An understanding of current issues relating to effective leadership
behavior will be explored through activities designed to move the student
from theory to the practical processes of leadership. Topic categories
include personal development, collaborating with others, and leading
within an organizational setting. The student will complete Field Work to
implement leadership practices within their organization.
China Class/Trip
Please find a flyer attached about the course and trip that will be going to China in May 2013.  This is a great opportunity and will count as an elective.  If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Janis Miller at janism at clemson.edu<mailto:janism at clemson.edu>
