All workshops are facilitated by the staff of Women*s Student Services.
THEORY OF CHANGE
The underlying premise of the WILD Wednesday Leadership Development program is based on the Social Change Model of Leadership Development (as described in the second edition of the book “Leadership for a Better World” by Komives and Wagner and associates (2016). This accessible and student-friendly model is focused on the process of leadership and focuses on developing leaders through engaging in conversation about seven different “values.” The model posits that effective leadership for social change lies at the nexus of individual, group, and societal/community values (as depicted in the model). The MSU Mission and Statement on Diversity states that valuing inclusion benefits students by “enriching their learning experience and better preparing them to function as effective citizens.” The WILD Wednesday’s core value is citizenship for social change and transformative justice.
