On Wednesday, January 11th, MHHC welcomed over 50 female students who visited the facilities from the Columbia University Barnard College Emerging Leaders Program. This was the third year in which MHHC hosted students from this program and it allowed the opportunity to showcase the pristine facilities and the work being done, but also to share knowledge and experiences from MHHC’s leaders with this generation of emerging leaders. During the visit, students had the opportunity to hear firsthand from President & CEO Verona Greenland about leadership, being a visionary and developing the ability to motivate individuals to achieve the “bigger picture.” The Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) is a year-long selective and competitive first-year leadership program which focuses on leadership from an interpersonal and co-curricular point of view, as it pertains to women in particular. This program assists first-year students in developing key leadership skills through weekly workshops and seminars that place them in front of successful women from a broad variety of fields and experiences.
A critical component in the Emerging Leaders Program is students’ participation in the Leadership Institute, a five day program during the inter-session in January which seeks to display leadership in NYC in a number of public sectors. During this week, in addition to touring MHHC as the selected health care agency, the students also visited agencies in other sectors such as government, education, the judicial system, and community service. The goal of the program is to expose the ELP students to aspects of NYC public policy that they would not otherwise have an opportunity to experience.
