Service Leadership Project
Background: The Global Strategies Institute’s leadership course links learning about the world in
2022 to envisioning 2050, emphasizing actionable solutions to future challenges. Its required
service-learning component applies classroom knowledge to real-world contexts, while the
service experience reinforces lessons from course materials.
You are being tasked with finding a way to meaningfully engage with one or more of the topics
we have discussed in this course; the specific topic and project are up to you. You should commit
at least 5 hours total to this project, and you will be graded on both the quality of your work and
your ability to relate that work to the materials from the course.
