INAUGURAL LEADERSHIP ACADEMY: Twenty-seven Palm Beach State College students will hone their skills in the four-day Kimmel Leadership Academy at the Boca Raton campus, 8:30 a.m. – 3 p.m., Aug. 9-12, in Humanities and Technology Building, Room 103. The students were selected after a competitive process that drew nearly 100 applicants. The program, open to students at PBSC’s Boca Raton campus, is made possible because of a $42,000 gift from the Virginia and Harvey Kimmel Family Foundation, which is named after a Delray Beach couple who has contributed to many educational and other initiatives in the community. The Kimmel Leadership Academy curriculum was developed by Dr. Kalisha Waldon, a professor at the Boca Raton campus. It is based on the Social Change Model of Leadership Development. The academy is designed to promote a positive sense of change among participants within themselves, the campus and the community. Through a multipronged approach, the students will gain experiences and opportunities to enhance their academic, social and personal growth through self-exploration, seminars and workshops, including team-building exercises.
