Workshops that help students develop leadership are offered twice a year by the Office of Student Activities at the University of Pittsburgh. Soon after the 12 programming committee chairs and the student coordinator are selected in December, they meet with advisory staff in a local hotel for a training workshop, the first session of the "LeaderShop." A retraining workshop the following September is also offered as a refresher course. The LeaderShop uses a variety of learning/training strategies, including questionnaires, case studies, lectures, group discussion, and simulation. The student activities office helps promote student development by covering such areas as leadership and communication, time and conflict management, problem-solving and decision-making, planning and organizing, and budgeting and evaluating. In fact, the committee chairpersons not only schedule, contract, and manage events, they also assume responsibility for their committee activities. As a group, they conduct their own meetings, resolve budget disputes, preside over committees, and monitor progress of their scheduled events. Involvement of students in the leadership sessions promotes self-expression, commitment, and accountability, and enables them to meet interesting people and expand cultural awareness and participation.
