IT Leadership

This course focuses on leadership which includes individual and group communication, project planning, strategy, and individual development, with a focus on Information Technology and its uses. Students participating in this class will actively design, implement, and coordinate numerous ongoing projects that build a strong team atmosphere and allow students to gain valuable leadership, communication, and organizational skills within the context of contemporary IT organizations. Projects focus on exposing, engaging, and recruiting women and minorities to the IT/computing field, promoting the IT/ICT major, community technology engagement, and K-12 tech initiatives. Students will address specific issues relating to leadership, management, and motivation within the context of contemporary IT organizations. Students will be actively involved in mentoring other students and will serve as role models for their peers. Together, students will learn and share ideas about leadership in order to develop both a personalized theory of leadership and a leadership action plan for the future. This class gives us an opportunity to explore what leadership means, what it requires, and how it is done.
