Advanced leadership course grows students' skills 2nd Lt. Alex Fernandez was one of the students in Rose Procter's advanced leadership course this spring. He commissioned in May into the quartermaster branch of the Army. Students in Rose Procter's advanced leadership course in the Mike Cottrell College of Business this spring gained a wide array of skills to prepare them for their careers. The course is aimed at students in their final semester before entering the workforce. They had one-on-one calls with business leaders, made a group presentation to a mock board of directors, interviewed high school students and confronted their fears.
