“We are all called to lead, to influence, and to make decisions regardless of our position or title and to effectively do so without the proper training is hopeful at best. There is an assumption that through life and work experience we will be equipped to effectively lead and influence and that isn’t always the case. Leadership training is critical to our success both at work and in our personal life. Programs such as Leadership UCO help provide the tools we need to be effective as a leader.” Mark Herrin— Assistant VP Wellness & Sport

Leadership UCO Leadership UCO (LUCO) is as an annual program where the selected participants work to develop their professional and personal leadership qualities, networking and interpersonal skills. 2014-2015 will be the 12th year of LUCO, which has continuously evolved to remain relevant and progressive in leadership standards. This year’s program , led by Dr. Shanna Teel, will feature a brand new health and wellness component as well as the Myer’s Briggs Type Indicator assessment as seen in previous years.

The program kicks off with a Welcome Reception, hosted by the Leadership UCO Alumni (LUCOA) members, and then the class starts building relationships during their full day at the Challenge Course together. After the Challenge Course, the program will consist of leadership sessions combined with halfdays volunteering in the community. The program closes with a Graduation Celebration, hosted by LUCOA members.

LUCO graduates become LUCO Alumni. As an Alumni you will be able to participate in exclusive leadership events, luncheons, and volunteer opportunities.

Who is Professional Development For? The Individual – Whether you are a faculty or staff employee, full-time or part-time, an administrator, manager/supervisor, or a student employee; a personal commitment to your own professional development is a vital part of your continued success. The knowledge and skills you gain by participating in Professional Development department sessions and programs can reach beyond your current position here at UCO on out into your personal life and into the community.

The Department – Employee growth is essential to maintaining the quality, productivity and morale of a department. Professional Development partners with many departments across campus to develop and tailor departmental training sessions and events to meet their unique needs. Don’t spend lots of employee work hours trying to “reinvent the wheel” when we probably already have the information and tools you need. We can provide your department with on and off campus training specialists, location options, and assist you with developing online training. Please visit our website and complete the Request for Departmental Training and Assistance form or email us at Prodev@uco.edu.
