Dear Colleagues,<br><br>
The Division of Student Life (DSL) and the MIT Leadership Center are
compiling an inventory of student leadership development programs and
initiatives happening across MIT. Our goal is to help all students
develop the self-awareness and confidence to explore, practice, and
develop good leadership skills through the many developmental
opportunities that already exist. We need your help in this effort
to establish a valuable resource for students as well as faculty and
staff. Could you (or the appropriate person in your group) please
take a few minutes to complete this survey
<a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=792551270567">
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=792551270567</a> to identify and
describe any such programs you may be aware of or support? We would
be happy to provide you with a list once completed.<br>
<br>
Through this database, students will be able to identify and explore
numerous opportunities for individuals and groups to develop and practice
leadership skills. These opportunities would include <br>
-- formal academic-based programs (e.g. Courses 2.009 and Global
Entrepreneurship Lab), <br>
-- formal nonacademic-based programs (e.g. LeaderShape, CMI Enterprises,
or the Naval Leadership Conference), and<br>
-- informal opportunities to practice leadership (e.g. student
governments, student organizations, or leadership roles such as Associate
Advisors, Graduate Resident Tutors or Orientation Leader)<br>
<br>
If you are not the appropriate person to answer these questions for your
area, or if there are others you believe we also should consult, would
you please forward this message, and copy Jane Deutsch
<deutschj@mit.edu><b><i>,</i></b> so that we can add their names
and information to the list.<br><br>
Please provide the information by <b>September 30, 2005</b>, in order to
include the programs you’ve identified in our current update. Thank you
for your assistance.<br><br>
Sincerely, <br><br>
Larry G. Benedict <br>
