Program Courses<br />
STI115 The Symbiosis <strong>of</strong> Teresan, Franciscan & Lasallian Traditions 2 credits<br />
This course provides the broader context for the <strong>Saint</strong> Teresa Leadership and Service Institute students,<br />
and serves as the foundation for our study <strong>of</strong> leadership and service. As a complement to the Lasallian<br />
core traditions courses, this course brings together the study <strong>of</strong> Lasallian traditions with those <strong>of</strong> <strong>Saint</strong><br />
Teresa <strong>of</strong> Avila and <strong>Saint</strong> Francis <strong>of</strong> Assisi. In order to respect and honor the legacy <strong>of</strong> the College <strong>of</strong> <strong>Saint</strong><br />
Teresa, our namesake, this course provides a focused study <strong>of</strong> the Teresan values <strong>of</strong> loyalty, purity and truth<br />
and the Franciscan values <strong>of</strong> charism for the poor, simplicity, and stewardship <strong>of</strong> the earth, among others.<br />
STI215 Leadership Theory and Practice 2 credits<br />
This course surveys the multitude <strong>of</strong> competing leadership theories and styles from a more academic<br />
perspective and method than that <strong>of</strong>ten applied in the pop-culture leadership material. This course<br />
introduces students in the <strong>Saint</strong> Teresa Leadership and Service Institute to a deeper and more<br />
comprehensive understanding <strong>of</strong> what it means to be a leader. Offered in the fall semester.<br />
STI315 Women in Leadership and Service 2 credits<br />

women in our society is presented. Student work focuses on research, writing and presenting on the<br />
role <strong>of</strong> women today and the future role <strong>of</strong> women in their particular field <strong>of</strong> study and areas <strong>of</strong> interest.<br />
