Redger-Marquardt, Chelsea, Vermillion, Mark and Gabriel Fonseca. Bridging Curricular and Co-Curricular Leadership Development: The Development of a Student Organization Leadership Minor. -- Building Bridges for the Future of Leadership Education: Proceedings of the 2024 Annual Conference Association of Leadership Educators, Minneapolis, MN, July 14-17, 2024, pages 113-134.
Abstract
The paper focuses on the creation of a leadership minor that integrates Student Affairs activities with academic coursework. The authors highlight the importance of collaboration between Student Affairs and academic units to provide students with a structured path for leadership development. This minor includes a combination of required courses and electives designed to enhance students' leadership skills through both curricular and co-curricular experiences. The program targets student leaders such as those involved in student government, Greek life, and other campus organizations, offering them academic credit for their involvement. The paper discusses the framework for building the program, its alignment with high-impact educational practices, and the challenges faced in integrating leadership education across campus settings.
