Office of Student Engagement
Leadership Programs
The Office of Student Engagement advances a leadership framework that formalizes and acknowledges the educational impact that experiential and integrated learning has on students who are effectively engaged in leadership positions and participating in leadership development programs on campus.
Emerging Leaders Program
A cornerstone of the leadership programs for new students is The Emerging Leaders Program (ELP). The co-curricular certificate program has been designed to help new students understand learning experiences in co-curricular lives and their relationships with classroom work; to assist students in becoming effective leaders on campus and in the community; and to encourage personal growth and development through active participation in discussion, exercises and workshops.

Leadership Positions
Involvement in formal student leadership positions affords students an opportunity to practice effective leadership skills. Effective leadership means more than running meetings and planning events; it involves making an impact on one’s community. Leadership skills are life skills. The staff members in Student Engagement are committed to developing the leadership potential of all students. When individual students become more effective leaders, our student organizations, and the educational experience for all students, are enriched and strengthened. Formal student positions with leadership potential include:
- Executive Members of Registered Student Organizations
- Leadership Coordinators
- Orientation Leaders
- Commuter Assistants
- FYE Coordinators
- FYS-100 Peer Mentors
- Kanbar Building Managers
