Jumpstart Your Leadership Training with C.E.L.T.
10/29/2007
 The University of St. Thomas is helping to create future leaders through a series of upcoming workshops. The program is part of Creating and Educating Leaders of Tomorrow, C.E.L.T. UST introduced the leadership program last year, to enhance and develop student leadership on the University campus.
“My goal for starting this program is to assist our students in their leadership development,” said Angie Montelongo, assistant director, Student Activities. “UST is focused on educating leaders of faith and character and this program exemplifies that statement. This program will help our students to become better leaders, not just on campus, but in their communities as well. The program works best when initiated in the first and second year, but for interested juniors, two cohorts have been created.”
The program was started by the Office of Student Activities. The workshops explore topics such as peer leadership and balancing academics and leadership. Students are equipped with a leadership book to serve as a guide as they journey through the five phases of the program.
Participants are required to attend a minimum of eight sessions. Other program activities include weekend retreats, leadership projects and opportunities to enhance and assist students in their leadership development and co-curricular experience.
“C.E.L.T. creates a support network and relationships with other student leaders,” said Patricia Maniarrez, president of the International Studies Society. “You learn from the University’s own leaders valuable lessons that can be used beyond the college experience.”
C.E.L.T. workshops begin in mid-October and continue in the spring semester. This leadership program is open to all UST freshman, sophomores and juniors. Juniors will be enrolled on a fast track that will last two years. For more information contact Montelongo in the Office of Student Activities at 713-525-3572 or montela@stthom.edu.
