Leadership Consultants (LC's)
Leadership Consultants are peer leaders that are available to help you and your student organization. They hold office hours in the Center for Student Involvement on the 2nd floor of Sykes Student Union. To see when they are available during the academic year click on this calendar. If none of those times work for you please reach out to involvement@wcupa.edu and we will find a time that does work.

Books & Resources
Located in Sykes 218, the Leadership Resource Center is equipped with a library of information dedicated to all things Leadership. One can find books, articles and materials with themes ranging from management to positive thinking and self-help to goal setting and team building.  Whether you would like to pursue growth in your own personal leadership skills or find a solution to a conflict in a group project, our dedicated and friendly staff of Leadership Consultants are here to help you find what you’re looking for. If you would like to stop by and check out one of our books, all you need to bring is a student or faculty identification. Both students and faculty can check out any of our resources for a two-week period. View the Book List.
