Eleven months after beginning the MASCL journey and after completing three rigorous online modules that focus on strategic communication and leadership; organizational culture, leadership and change; and, leadership communication strategies students once again meet face-to-face with their learning team, faculty and administrators at the mid-program residency. During this intense weekend they get to practice their communication and leadership skills as they give team presentations, individual presentations in the TV studio, and prepare for and hold a press conference, and other presentation opportunities and that the faculty spring on them. Faculty and speech coaches give each student extensive feedback to fine-tune their abilities and all presentations are video taped for further critique. Although the residency weekend is extremely busy students hone their communication and leadership skills there is plenty of time for bonding, networking and just having fun. 
“The mid-residency cemented an already strong relationship with my teammates. It was great getting feedback on our speeches and the press conference. I felt it truly was a positive learning experience.” (student feedback)
We are currently accepting applications for the September 5 - 7, 2008 Orientation residency. You can find the online application and more information about the program on the MASCL website.
