Challenged to lead

If you think you
have energy and enthusiasm to face the challenges of a remarkable
college experience, you might want to consider the opportunity to
become a UAS student leader.
Once again, Vicki Orazem, vice-provost for student success is inviting
all students, who want to have a professional experience on campus,
to apply for the UAS leadership program.
“I am searching for talented students of the same caliber as
the student leaders we currently have working with us.” Orazem
said.
In the spring of 2002 the UAS Leadership Program had
25 students, who are now involved in activities such as student
ambassadors, orientation leaders, freshman seminar teacher assistants
(TA’s), peer mentors, community advisors (CA’s), and student
government leaders.
Some of the students who were in last year’s class
represented the university and learned new leadership skills by
organizing a service project, giving public speeches, and volunteering
at university sponsored events.
As this semester is coming to a close, students may
begin evaluating all the events and people who have had an impact
on them. Obstacles and challenges might make them look for new opportunities
and experiences. If you are such as student, you might consider
applying for this prestigious position on campus, which will develop
your leadership skills. This may be the challenging new experience
you are looking for.
Any students who are interested in the Leadership program
should fill out an application form. Selected students will enroll
in a three-credit leadership class, SPC 218/418 in Spring 2003,
and participate in a campus leadership position for Fall 2003.
