Journey Into Leadership-Course Information, Training & Professional Development

The Goals of the Journey

"Thus, the task is not so much to see what no one yet has seen, but to think what nobody yet has thought about that which everybody sees."
--Schopenhaur

"Journey Into Leadership is a unique opportunity to begin to think differently, to explore one's own leadership potential, and to engage in the campus community in a new way through a shared experience that focus on one's own self-discovery."

--Sabah Randhawa, Provost and Executive VP, Oregon State University
