Words that Burn and Making a Difference: Community Leadership 7/11-7/15/16

Words That Burn

Performance poetry has become a popular and celebrated art form in recent decades. Combining elements of music, theater, writing, and performance “slam” poetry (as it is known) has become a way for people on the “outside” to express themselves. In this workshop, students of all ages and writing levels will learn how to communicate their thoughts, opinions, and feelings in a way that is both creative and clear. In addition to literary analysis and creative (as well as non-fiction) writing techniques, students will develop real world communication skills such as public speaking and performance. Students will find their unique writer’s voice and learn how to make the world hear what they have to say.  

Making A Difference: Leadership through Community Service 7/11-7/15/16

Who are the leaders of tomorrow? What are you doing to make a difference today? How are you lending a helping hand? This workshop empowers students to be positive role models and to strive to realize their potential without minimizing the value of teamwork.  Students will participate in a variety different leadership exercises and also partake in community service activities in and around the William Paterson campus. Students will learn more about themselves, others, and the world around them through fun and interactive activities, while building techniques to develop trust and collaboration.  In this 24/7 connected world, this program will help students understand different types of leadership styles, how to work with others, and how important their contributions are to the community and beyond.
