Servant-Leadership K-240 • (414) 277-7373 • howell@msoe.edu The Office of Servant-Leadership emphasizes increased service to others, an approach to work that emphasizes the healthy organic and functional relations between the components of our humanity and our vocational and occupational objectives, and a sharing of power in decision making. Servant-Leadership is working to create opportunities for students who “aspire to be principled, innovative and socially conscious contributors to a caring and civil society.” It is responsible for helping faculty integrate the concept into current philosophy and ethics courses and develop a new course on the topic. On the student life side, this department helps integrate the philosophy throughout the social fabric and culture of the university through extracurricular programs. Numerous student-driven projects enable the various communities at MSOE to learn about servantleadership by doing servant-leadership. The Servant-Leadership Office is located on the second floor of the Kern Center, adjacent to the Counseling Services and Health Services offices.

Athletic Field Policies and Procedures The MSOE Athletic Field is located at the corner of N. Milwaukee and E. State Streets. The Athletic Field is a multi-purpose facility with multiple user groups having different priorities for its use. The field is for campuswide recreation activities (such as Orientation, Homecoming and St. Pat’s Week), for intercollegiate and intramural team practices and games, and for general student use – individuals and groups, both preplanned and spontaneous. STUDENTS ARE WELCOME AND ENCOURAGED TO USE THE FIELD WHENEVER IT IS AVAILABLE. There will be times however, when it is possible to damage the field because of weather or field conditions. At these times, there will be a sign posted on the backstop of the softball field. There also will be a sign on the field itself, near second base. When the signs state that the field is closed, please do not go onto the field. This includes both the infield and the grassy areas. When the tarp is down on the field, the field will be posted as closed and no one is allowed on the infield or the grassy areas. The field also is used for intramurals and by the varsity softball and soccer teams for practices and games. Please do not use the field at these times. Please respect their use of the field when they are playing their games. Generally, these times will be from 4 p.m.-6 p.m. on Monday through Friday, and some weekends through the fall and spring. These and other reservations will be posted on Outlook. If you want to reserve the field exclusively for a campus-wide event or a group activity, a permit from the Kern Center is necessary. You can get a free permit to reserve the field from Director of Recreational Services Rai Stelter at the Kern Center, office K-135. Call (414) 277-2672 or E-mail stelter@msoe.edu for further information. Any “reserved” permit will have a date and time on it and the holder of a reserved permit will have the use of the field during this time period. Any individuals who are on the field or who come to use the field and who are not part of the permit group will have to leave the field.
The Athletic Department offers an intramural sports program for recreational competition. These activities are designed for those students who wish to participate on a once-a-week basis, with no formal practice or coaching. Sports offerings include broomball, ice hockey, flag football, floor hockey, basketball, volleyball, softball and indoor soccer. All intramural sports are co-ed.
