Higher education groups meet to discuss the future of student leadership education

Student Leadership Programs
August 6, 2015 Lindsey Hammond

NASPA was pleased to participate in the 2015 Inter-Association Leadership Education Collaborative (ILEC) Summer Summit at the University of Maryland. Conversations at the third annual summit focused on future directions for the field of college student leadership education by the year 2020.

ILEC members committed the resources of each association to activate their members, services, and programs around a set of propositions that will advance the field. The members left the 2015 summit again in working teams to emerge a white paper to be disseminated throughout the field by each of the eight national organizations making up the Inter-Association Leadership Educators Collaborative.

The eight organizations represented are the National Clearinghouse for Leadership Programs (NCLP), the National Association for Campus Activities (NACA), Association for Leadership Education (ALE), the Association for College Unions International (ACUI), the International Leadership Association (ILA), the American College Personnel Association (ACPA), NASPA - Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education, and the American Association of University Women (AAUW & CWLEA).

ILEC members are currently crafting language for the six proposition statements on the following topic areas:

  • developing and advocating for holistic understanding of leadership education
  • fostering meaningful dialogue and collaborations among organizations
  • identifying, synthesizing, and advancing quality resources for leadership educators in higher education
  • identifying trends and addressing voids in leadership learning programs, services, and resources
  • assessment/evaluation of program, student, and alumni impact
  • shaping the narrative of leadership education for the future

The working teams are developing a comprehensive language to provoke thoughtful discourse for each proposition in addition to suggested tactics to advance the proposition. The working team reports will be dispersed at national conferences and meetings during the spring of 2016 to gain greater clarity on each of the propositions before weaving the work into a white paper for widespread dissemination in the fall of 2016.
