Learn to Lead

Oxy Elements Leadership Program logo

Hone your leadership skills as a member of a student organization, by taking on a position in student government,  or by managing one of several student-run departments or businesses. Or you can develop new skills through various trainings or programs.

Emerging Leaders Program

(October 6 & 7, 2012 with followups through November)

The Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) is a series of retreats and workshops designed to provide first year students with the building blocks to become successful, active campus and community leaders. The focus of the program is to help students explore the values, emotions, and motivations that will guide them as campus leaders. 

In ELP, students will:

  • Meet other students with similar interests
  • Learn about leadership opportunities at Oxy
  • Make connections to Oxy
  • Develop leadership skills

Women in Leadership

New this year, we are proud to present two receptions during spring semester focused on connecting women student leaders at Oxy with notable alumnae. Our goal is to help create meaningful connections between Oxy women on campus and those that have been successful after college. Each reception will feature some time to mix and mingle with alumnae as well as a panel of successful alumnae talking about their path. Refreshments will be served. Seating for each reception is limited, so you must reserve a seat. You can keep up with the latest updates on panelists and more on the Facebook event.

Leadership & Greek Awards

Each year Oxy Elements hosts a celebration of the accomplishments of individual students, student organizations and their advisors. We are also proud to assist in the selection and announcement of the recipients of the Charles W. List (1908) Award, the Cynthia Cox (1972) Memorial Award, and the Daniel Stewart Hammack (1935) Memorial Award.

Senior Week Leadership Retreat

Begun as a way to develop the student leaders working in positions like RAs, Programming Assistants, Student Mangers, and O-Core, the Senior Week Leadership retreat is a two and a half day retreat structured to build relationships building across student leadership spheres. With a focus on shaping the campus culture particularly around issues of bias, the experience combines conversations in large and small groups with activities to help make the experience as interactive as possible.
