Fox Directors and Affiliates regularly teach leadership-related courses. The roster of courses includes academically-based community service classes that incorporate service to the community as a part of the curriculum. Also included are problem-solving learning courses in which the students spend a semester examining a particular issue and then write an extended report that includes an implementable action plan for addressing the problem.
Fox Program staff also advises individual students and student groups develop leadership training for their members; construct and facilitate programming to help student organizations accomplish goals; and mentor individuals or groups on a "by request" basis.
