No more than two courses in one's major should count toward this minor.  Beginning with students entering St. Norbert College in the fall of 2001, LEAD Minors will be expected to put together a Leadership Studies Portfolio based upon papers and projects for their Leadership Studies courses, to be the basis for an integrated project in the capstone course and for assessment purposes
