The Virtual Transformational Leadership Development (VTLD) Experience

Description

Hogan, a professor of practice, human resource management in the College of Liberal Arts’ School of Labor and Employment Relations, wants to use student engagement to help accelerate undergraduates’ development of global leadership skills. His project team plans to utilize virtual experiential learning practices and reflective exercises to help develop shared skills by influential, impactful leaders.

“Transformational leaders possess the ability to unlock the talents, gifts, potential, and so much more from the people who follow them,” said Hogan. “By using the arts as an agent of change, delivering content virtually, incorporating interactive reflection exercises, and employing the help of a leadership development coach, the VTLD Experience can deliver a customized transformational experience to undergraduate students.”

The Virtual Transformational Leadership Development (VTLD) Experience is designed to use the arts in a virtual format to promote student engagement and create an interactive learning space for undergraduates. The VTLD Experience takes care to develop students’ intercultural awareness, inclusive leadership skills, global citizenship, and empathy and compassion toward fellow humans. Additionally, it will incorporate learning objectives and content modules, leadership development profile and assessment tools, reflective exercises, an online journal, and an intelligent virtual coaching agent.
