GE-SU Leadership @ Work Series

Leadership at Work (L@W) is a partnership between General Electric and Syracuse University that identifies student leaders early in their college careers and primes them for professional success in GE's internship and leadership development programs.

Students who participate in Leadership at Work engage in a variety of skill-building workshops taught by General Electric leadership, including presentational speaking, team-building, project management and even a competitive side project and presentation!

As part of the program, students are exposed to GE's culture of volunteerism. The "Winter Clean-up to Go Green" initiative at the Ronald McDonald House was organized to show students GE's commitment to giving back to the community.

Each year, General Electric employees volunteer more than 1 million hours of community service, enriching the communities in which they live and work.

The 2009 L@W series is being held over two weekends in February, 6-7 and 27-28 in Syracuse, NY. Applications were available online through the career services online registration application, Orangelink.

I will post more regarding this effort after I travel to Syracuse for the second weekend of L@W.
