Abstract:
Zayed University was founded to prepare leaders who will envision the possibilities and create the opportunities for the future of the United Arab Emirates. Students take increasing responsibility for their own learning, become active participants and leaders in the learning community and master the art of learning with others and from self reflection. The specific leadership learning outcome states that ZU graduates will be able to assume leadership roles and responsibilities in a variety of life situations and accept accountability for the results. To this end students have a range of opportunities to develop leadership capabilities. This paper will identify and discuss formal and informal leadership learning experiences, and the development of the program and programs concerning leadership in the College of Education.
