Futures Leadership Online Seminar

Students in this course prepare to be leaders in the 21st century by learning to be adaptive, creative, critical thinkers who can tackle the challenges of today and those of an unknown future. Futures literacy is a competency students develop to strategize, plan, and lead through change. As they become future literate, students can invent, design, and shape the world, including the communities around them. Students learn to build resilient processes, policies, and systems that will last the test of time. They also learn to imagine present and future practices to help adapt when faced with uncertainty.
