Helping Student Leaders Engage as Allies
Bourke, Brian
Journal of Campus Activities Practice and Scholarship, v2 n1 p12-17 2020
In fights for social justice, simply proclaiming oneself to be an ally is insufficient. As increases in social activism in recent years, it is important to recognize that there is not a line between student leaders and student activists. Leaders are taking on activist roles, and activists are leaders on campus (Linder, 2019). Student activities professionals have responsibilities to not only help student leaders navigate the terrain of institutional policies, but also play a role in addressing developmental needs. Advisors have to help allies participate in meaningful and powerful dialogs (Shaw Bonds & Quaye, 2019) as part of the process of connecting their allyship to their roles as student leaders. Helping student leaders engage as allies requires careful planning and active work over time.
