Dear Delegates,

We're excited to let you know that Eastern Washington University is offering 1-3 resident quarter credits to students that enroll with them and that come to the Annual Youth Assembly. The class they are offering credit for is titled Leadership in the 21st Century: Communicating for Success.

This is the Course in Brief, according to the EWU Course syllabus:


This directed study course, offered in conjunction with a leadership summit, offers a

comprehensive look at the importance of cross-cultural communication.
The course is divided into three separate, but related, study phases: the preparation or

Pre-Conference Phase, the Conference Phase and the Post-Conference Phase.
During the Pre-Conference Phase the student will develop an image/model [theory] of what
he/she thinks cross-cultural communication means. During the Conference Phase, the student
will attend an intensive leadership program where a variety of academic lectures, workshops
and meetings will be conducted.

The purpose of these meetings will be to provide expert and professional information on the
dynamic principles of leadership and communication to participating students. Lectures will
be conducted by ranking academic professionals, diplomats, politicians, military and corporate
leaders. Students will learn not only the specific principles of leadership and communication;
they will practice them through situation role-playing, action planning and other interactive
projects. During this phase, the student will validate the image/model or theory they formed
during the Pre-Conference Phase.

After the student returns home he/she will finalize all written and/or other assignments.
