New leadership minor modeled on SSME program guide
Mount Marty College has launched a new leadership minor for undergraduates that truly follows the spirit of the interdisciplinary program guide. Bonita Gacnik, O.S.B., Ph.D contacted me about a year ago to understand the guide and ideas about service science. Then she and her team made it their own, to fit local needs and Mt Marty’s strengths. Others could look at this program and gather ideas for creating new programs.
