HUMAN 3LM3 Foundations of Leadership (Winter)

Mentor Application Form

Deadline:

Winter 2025: Applications will be accepted until January 7th, and the end of the drop/add period, or as space allows.

Approved students register in one Lecture slot AND in one Tutorial slot. The tutorial slots correspond to mentor-mentee meeting times.

Thank you for your interest in the Faculty of Humanities’ Art of Leadership programs.

This course will be different from other courses you have taken. Leadership cannot be reduced to a set of facts. Leadership is learned by trying, evaluating, and trying again, and by reflecting on your own experiences and the experiences of others.

This course will involve:

considerable group discussions and collaborative work
case studies without a clear resolution, requiring balancing multiple priorities
regular reflection on weekly topics and mentorship meetings
‘real’ leadership experiences where things may not always go according to plan – mentees may not show up, group members may not always cooperate
a final portfolio project that will pull together theory and practice into a story of your experience in the course

We make the following commitments to you. We will:

provide you with current, time-tested principles of leadership from multiple perspectives
share our own stories and experiences with you, and embark on a leadership journey with you
give regular and timely feedback on your reflections and other course work
work with you to answer your questions, help you to improve, and assist you in finding solutions to any issues that come up when mentoring
