(Approved Sub-Committee Focus/Goals – approved as of 31 Aug 00):

Focus:  on existing student leadership structure, organizations, and development and integration processes

Goals:

1. building stronger interaction between various student leadership groups on campus (remove stovepipe/silo mentality; encourage/develop integration between student leadership organizations)
2. examine what are other academic and non-academic organizations are doing/accomplishing with regards to developing student leaders
3. integrate/coordinate academic & non-academic student leadership initiatives - linkage across campus
4. examine methodology for instilling/fostering ethics, values, integrity, and a sense of duty in student leadership organizations

Focus: on the individual, specifically by encouraging the non-affiliated student/emergent student leader involvement in campus leadership activities

Goals:
1. to encourage additional student involvement in leadership activities/initiatives (get more students off the sidelines & into the game)
2. examine intrinsic and extrinsic motivation for leadership involvement – how to encourage/increase student involvement, need for incentives/rewards for initial involvement (credit/cash), then development of intrinsic motivation?
3. “deliverables” - seminars, conferences, classes (?), based on need assessments, that develop individual skills necessary to foster leadership involvement, (e.g., mentoring; teamwork; development of negotiation skills; communicative processes; conflict resolution/mediation; cultural impact/influences; deliberation and decision making)

Goals:
1. evolution of a UD Student Leadership and Leader Development home page, linking all SLDC initiatives into a single .edu 
2. explore how web based programming and other media can be used to make SLDC efforts/products available to a wider audience
3. develop and implement effective assessment tools (surveys, evaluative processes) to assist Groups 1 and 2 
4. establish effective means for students to review initiatives and provide feedback to the SLDC (two way commo) and encourage student “ownership” in SLDC efforts (for our initiatives to be effective, then students need to accept/embrace initiatives as their own)
5. seek external resources to support SLDC initiatives (corporate/civil sponsorship, internships, $$$, speakers/mentors, etc.)
