Tukwut Leadership Circle (TLC)
The Tukwut Leadership Circle is a program designed for students to explore and enhance their personal and professional leadership potential and is based on "the Seven C's" of the Social Change Model of Leadership.
To complete the program, students must:
- Attend a total of 10 workshops (1 from each of the 7 C's categories plus 3 additional workshops of your choosing)
- Participate in approved civic & campus engagement projects (6 hours for each project)
- Write a short leadership reflection paper
- Schedule a leadership transition interview with the Coordinator for Student Involvement
E-mail Shannon Nolan (snolan@csusm.edu) to schedule your exit interview and submit your reflection paper or to ask any questions that you may have about the TLC. In order to be recognized at Tukwut Leadership Awards Night, participants must submit their reflection paper and schedule an interview before the end of Spring Break.
