The Louis and Vivienne Gentile Arts and Sciences Leadership Center
Associate Director: Christopher Kaiser, Ph.D.
Seton Hall is excited to launch what is one of the few undergraduate leadership programs in the country for students planning a career in the arts and sciences. Whether you are in the hard sciences or the humanities, this program will make you a more effective leader. In addition to receiving a foundational understanding of leadership under the university’s umbrella Leadership Institute, students in the College of Arts and Sciences at Seton Hall will receive leadership development specific to their profession and taught by leaders in their respective field.
In addition to the academic and experiential understanding of what it means to be a leader in the arts and sciences, students in the program will also have access to information and a network specifically designed to give them a leg up on their counterparts as they embark on their new careers. Not only will they have a built-in network of senior and junior professionals to learn from and engage with, but they will have insight into which thought leaders, podcasts, and blogs will enhance their professional development in the field.
The Louis and Vivienne Gentile Arts and Sciences Leadership Center is responsible for the leadership pillar of character.
For specific questions regarding the center, please contact Dr. Christopher Kaiser at christopher.kaiser@shu.edu or (973) 761-9430.
