LEAD @ Oneonta is a comprehensive leadership program based on current research
and the Council for Advancement of Standards (CAS). It is designed to provide individual students an opportunity to explore leadership in a manner that gives them great breadth while allowing them to focus on areas important to them personally.
The Programs Main Goals are to:
Recognize student leaders
Better prepare students for life after college
Provide students with a leadership record that can be submitted to potential employers
Help students identify and meet specific leadership outcomes
Provide a comprehensive picture of leadership and the skills needed to be a
good leader
Provide support to those who advise and support student leaders
Some highlights and assumptions:
All students can participate if they choose
A record of leadership activities will be compiled online for each student
Once a student has begun the program, they will receive periodic reminders of their progress and what is required to take the next step(s)
As students complete a leadership level (silver/gold/platinum), they will receive certificates and other forms of recognition
Completion of a leadership level will be recognized on campus as a kind of credential that can be used when running for office, applying for STEP funding, writing a resume, etc
Each level of certification requires a mix of programmatic and experiential leadership opportunities that expand the students’ theoretical and practical knowledge of leadership
