Foundations for First-Year Students is a six-week, certificate bearing, leadership development program designed to engage first-year students in leadership development. During Foundations, students immerse themselves in reflective exercises, group activities, and experiential learning opportunities to better understand their unique strengths, define their leadership style, and outline a plan for their leadership development at OHIO.

What you will gain from Foundations:

• Connect with other first-year students.
• Discover your leadership style.
• Write a personal mission statement.
• Develop leadership skills and habits.
• Create a vision for your leadership at OHIO.

Each semester the Career and Leadership Development Center offers two Foundations groups—the “Monday Group” and the “Thursday Group.” Each group runs for six weeks. To take part, decide which group fits best with your schedule and attend the first session. There is no need to register in advance.

Foundations will begin on Monday, Oct. 9, and Thursday, Oct. 12, at 6:30 p.m. in the Amanda J. Cunningham Leadership Center, 366 Baker University Center.
