  • Sweet Briar College Magazine – Fall 2019
    Dear Sweet Briar alumnae and friends, At Sweet Briar, leadership is based on the lived experience of the women it has edu- cated and graduated. Our alumnae have been leaders who have rolled up their sleeves and gotten things done, without thought about who gets the credit. ln doing so, they have been effective decision-makers, problem-solvers, collaborators and morale boost- ers — and above all, they have been “useful citizens.” I believe leadership can be defined and taught, and I believe that Sweet Briar is just the kind of place where that can happen, which is why I launched our leadership core curriculum. At the base of the core is the effort to habituate in the minds of uro students the skills of problem-solving, decision-making and ethical thinking, as well as the logical and expressive ability to persuade. Not coincidentally, these are also the fundamentals of a liberal arts education. Last year, we rolled out the first six courses of the core, including Design Thinking and The Mindful Writer, and this year will see us launch the final four courses. Good leaders must have an understanding of financial resources and goals. In Dollars and Sense, students learn from economic history, institutional economics and entrepreneurship so that they’ll be prepared to advocate for themselves and the organizations they lead. In Decisions in a Data-driven World, students engage with data-rich topics from a variety of fields such as health, science and technology nda political science to develop the ability to reason and work with data, and understand and present arguments supported by quantitative evidence.
