MSRC Winners of SBU’s “What is Leadership?” Contest

Two members of the MSRC community know what leadership is. Stony Brook University initiated a contest for the “What is leadership?” banner during the Year of Community Leadership.  The winning banner was revealed on April 29, 2002.

From the 10 selected definitions, two of the winning entries are from MSRC faculty and staff. Lynn Bianchet crafted leadership is “the art of helping others find the best in themselves”. The winning entry by Petra Udelhofen, MSRC/ITPA adjunct faculty, reads leadership is “imagining the future, exploring new ideas, listening to others, and learning from mistakes”. The winners received $100 and a poster of the banner on April 29, 2002 in the SAC.  Congratulations!

Petra Udelhofen’s banner currently hangs in Endeavour Hall.
