Workshops

Workshops are 60 minute or 135 minutes sessions that focus on one of four areas. These areas are:

  • Personal Leadership Development: These workshops focus on developing practical knowledge and skills to enhance a participant's leadership ability.  Examples of workshops in this theme include time management, facilitation, motivating others, recruiting members, resume/portfolio creation, etc.
  • Best Practices: These workshops will involve sharing about programs or events that enhance student leadership on the presenters’ campuses and how to implement them. These can be existing, established programs or successful new initiatives.
  • Issues in Leadership: These workshops focus on critical issues that leaders must consider and face in the 21st century.  These include globalization, social issues, current events, politics, etc.
  • Leadership Perspectives: These workshops focus on learning about new perspectives in leadership and are experiential in nature.  These include simulations and experimental activities to expose participants to deep learning and growth around particular leadership topics.  Examples include experiential exercises on diversity and social justice, self-reflection and personal values.

Team Building Sessions

Team building sessions are highly interactive sessions that teach participants how to work more effectively in groups. These sessions are activity based and should have clear goals and learning outcomes.
