Leadership Educators Institute Developed for New and Mid-Level Student Affairs Educators

December 4 - December 6
Location: University of Maryland, College Park
http://www.naspa.org/programs/lei/default.cfm

Institute Description: Leadership education of college and university students is an important and ongoing process within higher education institutions. Student affairs professionals play a quintessential role in coordinating, shaping, and evaluating this area through developing leadership courses and programs, creating co-curricular opportunities, and utilizing new technologies. The Leadership Educators Institute (LEI) is an innovative forum geared specifically towards new to mid-level student affairs professionals and leadership educators with these responsibilities.  Participants will learn from plenary speakers and educational sessions, as well as through engaging in active learning and dialogue with one another during roundtable sessions. The Institute will assist participants with program and leadership course development and provide opportunities to learn through participation in smaller group environments on leadership education across institutional type and identity groups.
