CENTER FOR LEADERSHIP STUDIES
The Center for Leadership Studies (CLS) is the departmental home for the MA in Leadership (MAL) Program. The MAL is the centerpiece of the Center's activities. Through various activities and events, the Center sees itself as playing an important but supplementary role to the MAL program.
Currently, the CLS and Augsburg’s Center for Faith and Learning are co-sponsoring “Called to Lead,” a workshop series for alumni. This six-week workshop explores calling, vocation, and one's role as a leader and is designed to help participants build a network of mutual support and an internal base to ground them as they use their gifts to lead with integrity. Other workshops are offered for the community and special groups throughout the year.
In addition, the Center offers four workshops each year on various aspects of leadership which are open to students, alumni, and the community. The Center also conducts the Leaders as Readers book club, discussing three books on leadership topics each year.
The Center also has developed the MAL Endowment Fund in order to provide for Augsburg's continuing activities in leadership. An alumni board is involved actively in the development of the endowment, the planning of workshops, and in other activities.
