Student Success through Leadership.
Schoening, Don; Keane, Carole
Wenatchee Valley College's (WVC's) student leadership development program has been successful in identifying and developing people to perform leadership roles within the campus community. Rather than waiting for student leaders to emerge on their own, the program actively recruits high caliber people into WVC's student activity program. At campus recruitment functions and orientations, trained student leaders present information to high school juniors and seniors and entering WVC students on the leadership curriculum and the goals and objectives of the college. These student leaders are also involved in presenting a three-county workshop for junior high school leaders. The leadership development program includes the following components: (1) a retreat program for students and faculty that focuses on leadership skills and the development of close interpersonal relationships; (2) a credit-course in student government/applied leadership, which explores basic theoretical concepts and practical techniques; (3) inclusion of student leadership in the administrative structure of the college, with students taking responsibility for the research and study necessary to make informed contributions to administrative committees; and (4) campus clubs and organizations. WVC's student services team and staff members involved in student activities work with instructional faculty to provide students with these creative leadership activities. (AAC)
