ACPA2GO: How to Train Socially Just and Emotionally Intelligent Student Leaders

Register to receive the access link to the recording of the webinar that took place on 15 June 2022 // 1:00PM Eastern Time.
Student Affairs is a field built off the connection and successes of our students. Preparing and training student leaders is a critical part of our positions. Student leaders who are trained in emotional intelligence; tenants of DEI; and helping skills can enhance their own experiences as well as those of others. As our field and world continue to evolve, centering the experiences of marginalized voices and lived experiences must take center stage in our work.

Learning Outcomes:
- Scaffold training for student leaders that emphasizes DEI competencies
- Combine DEI, Emotional Intelligence, and Helping Skills to prepare student leaders in their goal of supporting students
- Demonstrate learning by working in small groups to complete a portion of a potential student leader training
ACPA/NASPA Professional Competencies
