FSU Seal

This message has been approved by Dr. Joi Phillips, director of the Center for Leadership & Service.

The Center for Leadership & Service, in partnership with the Division of Student Affairs LEAD Working Group, is launching a new monthly professional development opportunity related to all things leadership. Lunch n’ Lead sessions are open to FSU professionals (regardless of role/title) who want to learn, explore, and be part of a network of leaders. Each month, these sessions will dive into a different, focused topic that provides a two-pronged approach to your growth: encouraging deep reflection on your personal leadership journey and exploring practical strategies for your role as a leadership educator.

Registration is now open for the first two sessions of the series:
