Cultivating student leadership
Abstract
Many higher education institutions are struggling to regenerate meaningful learning experiences for student leaders in a post-pandemic world. Despite the illusion that most universities have college leadership development programs, many campuses considered themselves as being in the early stages of building critical mass, or working to enhance quality (Owens, 2012). While this problem may seem daunting, implementing educational leadership development programs is essential to ensure students gain a sense of purpose, pride, and passion in themselves and their communities. To address this problem, I have created a four-part leadership training program that aims to cultivate a new era of leadership in college students. Through participation in this project, students will develop enduring leadership skills, explore opportunities for personal and interpersonal growth, and cultivate a campus culture of belonging, inclusivity, care, and collaboration.
