School of Leadership Studies selects LEAD 212 class leaders for fall 2014
The School of Leadership Studies has selected as peer mentors for LEAD 212: Introduction to Leadership Concepts in fall 2014.
Students selected to serve as LEAD 212 class leaders will facilitate small group discussions, lead active-learning activities and be responsible for grading papers and projects. Class leaders serve as a liaison between students and instructors and will be a strong connection for many first-year students.
Research on peer leaders demonstrates that peer leaders serve many positive roles for first-year students including: connecting link between the student and the university, role model, motivator or guide, learning coach, student advocate and trusted friend, according to Colvin and Ashman, 2010. Peer leaders/mentors play an important role in shaping student's learning outcomes, environment and experiences.
Class leaders began training this spring by completing weekly preparation and training sessions, facilitation skills, service learning and student engagement; these students will be ready to assist incoming freshman next fall. Approximately 900 first year students will be enrolled in LEAD 212.
