LCE programs approach student leadership largely through the social change model of leadership and development (Komives & Wagner: Leadership for a Better World, 2009). This approach to student leadership and civic engagement encourage students to pursue social change through the "Seven C's" of values that include:"change, citizenship, common purpose, collaboration, controversy with civility, consciousness of self, congruence (for example, walking one's talk), and commitment. We support a number of student leadership innovative across campus including the Student Government Association, the Next Step: A Social Justice retreat, and a variety of student leader trainings and retreats.
