“This seminar will help students identify specific skills that they can apply to immediately improve their leadership skills,” said Wesselmann. “It could significantly impact their academic performance and interpersonal skills if they are motivated.”

Paul Wesselmann has been doing these workshops for six years now throughout the country. What began as a graduate course assignment turned into self-employmwnt in which he travels to 50 to 60 campuses each year to do these workshops.

According to the Office of Student Life, The workshop is designed to stress the key components of diversity and professionalism that can give students leadership development that they can apply for employment in professional fields.

“All students could benefit from this workshop, although it is geared primarily toward students who are currently holding or planning to hold a leadership positions including organizational officers, resident assistants, athletic team captains, student managers, and intramural officers,” stated Wesselmann.
