What is CEO?
- The CEO Program is a leadership development series providing you with the skills you need to succeed personally and professionally.
- Professional staff and trainers from area corporations and Drexel University faculty, staff, students, and alumni facilitate workshops.
- Students that participate in the workshops can receive CEO Certification. Student organizations can also earn certification if four or more of their members earn any level of certification.
- Students may participate in any scheduled workshop without working towards earning CEO certification. However, it is our belief that students attending a series of workshops will realize more substantial growth in their interpersonal and organizational leadership skills.
Who is the CEO Program Designed for?
- Members and leaders of student organizations at Drexel University.
- Students who desire to hold positions of leadership in the Drexel community.
- Any student that wishes to learn leadership and organizational skills and strategies.
How Will I Benefit from the Skills I Learn?
- Market your co-curricular experiences to potential employers and graduate schools.
- Improve your student organization’s ability to identify and attain goals.
- Identify your strengths and weaknesses and develop an action plan for personal and professional growth.
- Develop skills and strategies that are critical for success in student organizational, academic, and professional environments.
- Refine your leadership style and broaden your understanding of what it takes to excel and succeed in today’s work environment.
What is a "CEO Certified" event?
- An event planned by a student organization or campus partner (Drexel office or department) that creates additional leadership development opportunities for the Drexel student body.
- Events that qualify to be "CEO Certified" will be listed on the master CEO Program calendar, and all students attending the event will receive (1) CEO credit.
- All "CEO Certified" events will be marketed and promoted by the Office of Campus Activities.
How do I get my organization's/department's event to be "CEO Certified"?
- Complete the "CEO Workshop Request Form" below and email it to ceo@drexel.edu. Please make a note on the form if you will need assistance in reserving a room for your event, and/or if you will need AV equipment (i.e., computer/laptop/projector, etc.).
- Upon submission, your request will be reviewed and considered for the CEO calendar. You will be notified within one week of your submission date as to whether or not your event qualifies as a “CEO Certified” event.
- If your event does qualify to receive CEO credit, you will need to ensure that attendance is taken the day of your event and have the audience complete a brief 60-second survey (sign-in sheets and surveys are provided by OCA).
- You can pick up a folder for your "CEO Certified" event on the day of or the day before the program from the mailbox located outside of the office of the Associate Director of Campus Activities (Room 32F in the SORC – lower level, Creese Center). You can return the files in the same mailbox upon completion of the programs. You can keep the yellow carbon copy portion of the surveys for your own program assessment. If you wish to have a copy of the attendance sheet, one can be emailed to you upon request (email ceo@drexel.edu).
