Cunanan Center for Professional Success is excited to announce the continuation of the Leadership 7 readiness program offered to face-to-face College of Business students for the Fall 2024 semester. This program is FREE!

The “L-7” program is presented on the 7 key competencies of Leadership designed by the College of Business.  They are:

• Integrity
• Communication
• Empathy
• Courage
• Competence
• Growth
• Vision

The Career Readiness Leadership 7 program is a 9-week program, beginning on 9/11/24, and meets every Wednesday morning from 9-9:30 AM through 11/13/24 (the program will not meet 9/25-Career Fair). The first week includes an introduction/skills and then the following 7 weeks focus on each of the 7 different competencies. Certain companies attending the Employer in the Foyer events throughout the semester will attend these meetings to discuss how they use these competencies in their businesses and industries.  At the conclusion of the program, a ceremony will be held that honors the completion of the Career Readiness Leadership 7 program on 11/13/24/2024. **Students must attend all 9 sessions. **

Please RSVP using this link, as this program is limited to ONLY 40 students. The first 40 students to respond will be part of this Career Readiness program. Again, this program will meet every Wednesday morning from 9-9:30 AM. This gives students time to attend the Employer in the Foyer event right after on Wednesdays from 9:30 AM- 12 PM. Morning treats are provided as well! Additional information will be provided as we get closer to the opening date (room number, etc.)

Reach out to the Cunanan Center if you have any additional questions, and we look forward to this new opportunity with our amazing COB students!
