While many students imagine spending their Spring Break partying on a beach or buried in sleep hibernation, some university students have planned to spend their vacation time abroad bettering their leadership skills.
Leadership Scotland is a 2013 Spring Break trip that is being offered for the first time through the university s Leadership Center. Twenty students have already committed to spend six nights miami beach florida hotel and seven days in Edinburgh, Scotland and surrounding areas, Assistant miami beach florida hotel Director of the Leadership Center and trip coordinator Jason Eagar said.
From March 8 to 16 participants will engage in a community development project, explore and experience Scottish culture, traditions and landmarks, dive into leadership dialogue and introspection and connect with each other and leaders through experiential opportunities, according to the Leadership miami beach florida hotel Center s website .
We are hoping that the experience abroad will enlighten the participants to see how social change and leadership is relevant and happening in other cultures with limitless possibilities, Eagar said.
Scotland is an English speaking country which makes for an easy adjustment, especially if it s a student s first time abroad, Eagar said. But the culture is different enough to leave a lasting impression on students.
The most important quality of a leader is the ability to listen, Breyer said. She thinks this tool will come in handy on the trip the more she hears about past leadership experiences from other students.
