Student Organization Officers: Your advice and experience is
important for future student leaders!
While the Center for Student Activities and Leadership Development creates new resources and support networks for students and the organizations that they lead at Marywood, we know that a very important resource for student leaders is the "advice and experiences" of their peers.
Please take time to answer the questions on this webpage and submit the your leadership journal form to apaciej@marywood.edu
The Leadership Journal has been created by the Center for Student
Activities and Leadership Development to:
- Assist the "incoming" officers of student organizations by providing the leadership reflections of "outgoing" officers.
- Provide additional information about student organizations at Marywood University to students who are seeking involvement opportunities
Who submits responses and what happens to this information?
- The President and or his/her designee of each student organization should shared their unique perspective into the group's functioning. Responses submitted by each organization will be reviewed and edited and posted on our web site.
- Our hope is to build a "history" of responses that span over a five-year period of time. Incoming officers will benefit by reading this history as they prepare for their leadership role.
What is my deadline?
- We will be designing this resource as entries are submitted, but the BEST time to make your entry is as you are preparing for a leadership transition. It is important that you have a complete term of office to consider - and that the issues that you faced in your term of office are still fresh in mind.
Are there any guidelines that I should take into consideration when responding?
- Entries should be relatively brief (100 - 200 words) and constructive in nature. Members of the Center for Student Activities and Leadership Development staff will work with students on an individual basis if there is any need to clarify a statement made in a submission.
