Description
The purpose of the Session Long Project in Trident University International classes is to give you the opportunity to explore the applicability of the Module to your own life and work, and to see how the otherwise academically rigorous presentation of a topic may, with more or less work and/or trauma, become "up close and personal". This is done in a number of different ways -- sometimes cumulative papers, sometimes practical hands-on experimentation with a tool of some sort, sometimes reflections on a place of work or life. The common thread is personal application, aimed at demonstrating a cumulative knowledge and understanding of the course's material.
In each module, you will complete an assessment and/or situation diagnostics focusing on some aspect of leadership. You will then be asked to create a plan by which you can "grow" your strengths and develop your weaknesses. By the end of the course and the project, you will have a better understanding of strategic leadership and how to use leadership to influence followers.

Martin Luther King Jr.
Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968) was a Baptist pastor and social lobbyist who had a
key part in the American civil rights movement from the mid-1950s until his death in 1968.
Propelled by promoters of peacefulness, for example, Mahatma Gandhi, King looked for
correspondence for African Americans, the monetarily burdened and casualties of unfairness
through the serene challenge. He was the main thrust behind watershed occasions, for example,
the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the March on Washington, which achieved such landmark
legislation as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. (“Martin Luther
King Jr.”, n.d.)
