Susan F. Davenport Global Leadership Program
The Susan F. Davenport Global Leadership Program is
known as a place where courageous and informed leaders are
developed, and where action for social change is encouraged.
On our campus we enjoy a diverse and truly global environment
in which students learn how community is developed and
sustained in the face of differences in race, religion,
lifestyle, politics and language. Our students have a long history of
contributing to the wider human family through service in the
Lynchburg
community and beyond.
Program
Objectives
The Susan F.
Davenport Global Leadership Program is designed to provide
students a framework for their development
as ethical leaders and contributors to the public welfare. Named
in memory of Susan Funkhouser
Davenport '69 the program helps students to
understand the connections between their academic work, their
social and co-curricular choices, and their participation in
community service.
Program Design
The Program is designed to work as a leadership development
ladder that extends over all four years at the College. The
years are called “Phases” in the program, and must be completed
consecutively, as the themes for each subsequent year build on
the foundation provided in an earlier phase.
Transfer students or students who did not participate in
their first year will be allowed to enter the program, but must
enter at the Phase I level. While they will not be able to
complete all four phases, they will be encouraged to complete as
many phases as their time at the College will allow.
Davenport students will attend workshops, define and complete
service projects, learn grant proposal writing skills, and execute a
capstone project that demonstrates the power of leadership in a
global context. All participating students will have the
opportunity to earn internship and service learning credit
through existing College courses. Students are asked to carefully
document their experiences in the Davenport Program in their
web portfolio. Some information that they are encouraged to save
include: annual reflection papers; assessments of projects, grant
proposals, and feedback from
mentors.
