Integrative Learning
Students completing an associate degree at Portland Community College will be able to reflect on one’s work or competencies to make connections between course content and lived experience.
General education philosophy statement
Humanities 221 explores how the art of leadership impacts the human experience through connections to social change, scientific advancements, global and national crises, economic swings, and artistic developments. Through the examination of literature, music, film, and leadership theories students consider the ways leaders use creativity, innovation and imagination to impact others. Students will use their own lived experiences to examine and analyze their personal leadership style and how they use it. In these ways the class supports students in reflecting on their place in the world and how both positive and negative leadership qualities influence society and the world they live.
Aspirational Goals
Gain greater agency over personal leadership style.
