Goucher Leadership Council
2011 - 2012 Application
The Goucher Leadership Council is made up of students in their junior or senior years. The group “leads in terms of need,” meaning that
the group identifies different projects on which to focus each year depending on their individual passions and from what they feel Goucher
could benefit. While thinking about larger leadership initiatives on campus, the members also spend time focusing on their own personal
leadership development and growth. Members of GLC meet weekly for an hour and meet as needed for specific projects and tasks.
