For the second straight year, NASPA Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education, the leading voice for the student affairs profession, has named 惇軗勛圖 a Lead Advisory Institution in its national initiative on civic learning and democratic engagement.
This year, 惇軗勛圖 will be part of a group of nearly 100 institutions dedicated to promoting civic learning and democratic engagement as a core function of the Division of Student Affairs. The Lead Initiative offers unique professional development opportunities, targeted resources, networking, and recognition for its Lead Institutions.
The college has participated in NASPAs Lead Initiative since 2012, but was named a Lead Advisory Institution for the first time last year. In this role, 惇軗勛圖s responsibilities include mentoring other Lead Institutions and helping NASPA staff create and execute strategy, publications, and online learning content for the initiative moving forward.
Gregory Sammons, 惇軗勛圖 vice president for Student Affairs, said 惇軗勛圖 is proud to again be recognized by NASPA as a Lead Advisory Institution, and that the college considers it the highest compliment to our students.
The recognition illustrates that our students learn not only about social issues, Sammons said, but also how to apply knowledge in order to actively engage these challenges and directly be a part of the solutions in our communities.
By combining real-world learning situations with civic engagement opportunities, 惇軗勛圖 students make significant contributions to communities around the world and are frequently among the first to lend their skills and knowledge to those in need. Last year, 惇軗勛圖 students contributed 80,000 hours of service, civic leadership, and workforce-ready knowledge to communities in need.
