About the program

The Interdisciplinary Leadership Minor (ILM) program is ideal for those seeking to address diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) issues and enact social change through leadership. Central to the minor is increasing students’ competencies for individual and collective social reflection, analysis, skill development, and action. Within the ILM curriculum, theory and practice are bridged together by drawing on various disciplines, including education, critical theory, social movement history and theory, community organizing, organizational and human relations, and much more. Regardless of a student’s academic major, this minor seeks to engage career readiness strategies to prepare students for relational, ethical, and global leadership across multiple disciplines, workplaces, and communities.
