A place where New York residents can come and participate in different leadership activities. Different training also are involved with this as well. A good way back that a resident can give back to the community.

Your Emerging Leaders program looks interesting. However, the website is a bit vague about who the program is designed for. It's for students, yes -- but what kind of students? Most of the programs I have been looking at have a discipline, occupation, or special interest attached to it. The reason I bring this up is because Meghan and I are designing a leadership intervention for student/athletes. This group has special needs that are very different from non-student/athletes. However, there are many kinds of students who serve in various capacities on campus. Is it possible to have a generic leadership program that is effective? What makes a leadership intervention effective?
I have also looked in the Center for Leadership and Community Engagement. I was interested in being a Learning Partner, which is a counselor of sorts to student leaders of alternative winter and spring break projects.
I liked this quote from the National Academy article by Robert Diamond:
As an academic leader you will not only require the many skills and the knowledge needed in any leadership role in any profession but also in those areas unique to higher education. These include an understanding of the culture and history of your institution, its organization, and the impact these factors can have on the change process, the barriers to change in higher educational settings, an understanding of assessment, the research on learning, student development, and teaching, and the process and the criteria that can be used for rewarding faculty, staff, and operational units at your institution.
This quote shows a leader cannot just "plug" into an environment and be effective.
