Student Leadership Issues and Opportunities

· Focus: Student Trustees and Student Advisory Committee (SAC)

· Student leaders need our assistance with issue identification so they can help with affecting change.

· Student leaders need structure; we should assist them by offering models to review and utilize.

· Student leaders need to be educated on positional (via title) vs. authentic leadership.

· We need to set the standard for our students by providing excellent role modeling for them.

· We need to recruit students for leadership development opportunities on our campuses.

· We should create opportunities for our student leaders to actually make an impact on our campuses including reporting back to them on how their efforts have affected change.

· Note: your student trustee does not have to be appointed as your college’s SAC representative. Also, you may appoint more than one student to participate on this committee.

· Summer Institute is held in June 2006. Consider sending more than just your student trustee.
