Lead out Loud: Reach Out, Stand Up, Build Bridges
The 2009 Spring Leadership Conference brings together graduate students from Seattle University and Gonzaga University for the third consecutive year to exchange ideas, share research, and build relationships that will continue beyond the boundaries of this conference. This year’s theme, Lead out Loud: Reach Out, Stand Up, Build Bridges evokes the notion of leadership that is strong and intentional about building bridges with others.

The mission of the doctoral program in educational leadership is to "prepare effective leaders for an interdependent world." Our mission grows out of the College of Education's mission of preparing ethical and reflective professionals for quality service in diverse communities. The program mission is carried out through integrated program strands that are woven throughout the three year core sequence. These strands describe the leader the program strives to develop as: value centered, committed to service and social justice for the common good, professional, reflective, holistic, interdisciplinary, creative, visionary, scholarly, effective interpersonally and as a leader in organizations, and both committed to and possessing the conceptual knowledge and skills to lead in diverse communities and in an interdependent world.
In addition to these strands, three broad organizing themes provide a focus of study as students move through the program. During the first year, the development of self as leader is the predominant theme. The leader in organizations receives major emphasis the second year. During their third year, students study leadership from a global perspective.
