Spotlighting Leadership

Hello World,

As a guest blogger to UNC's Carolina Leadership Development Office I wanted to highlight what the semester has in store for my portion of the blog. My name is Javan Cross and I am a junior Interpersonal Communications Major and African-American Studies Minor. I've worked in the CLD office almost two years now and each week I will be highlighting a certain area of leadership pertaining to higher education, historic figures, and most importantly YOU. Be on the look-out for the CLD campus cam as we capture your ideas throughout the semester. Here are just some of the guiding principals of our Leadership Philosophy to look forward to:

  • Self-awareness Innovation
  • Ethics and Integrity Citizenship
  • Equity and inclusion Sustainability
  • Student Engagement
  • Innovation
  • Citizenship
  • Sustainability

In addition to these, throughout the month of February I will be highlighting various African American leaders in honor of Black History Month. My thoughts reflect that of my own experiences so please feel free to offer your opinions/comments as you feel led.
