You are invited to join SOCHE for a virtual lunch and learn entitled “Leadership: Theory and Practice,” on Wednesday, May 14, beginning at 12 p.m. ET. The session will be presented by Dr. Amanda McLellan, director of the Thomas Library at Wittenberg University.

We will discuss some of the pros and cons of several major theories and tips on how to choose a leadership style (or styles) to best apply to your situation, as well as identify resources where you can learn more.
Session attendees will:
