Obtaining a position on an organization’s executive board is something new and exciting. An individual is now not only a member of a club, but holds a leadership role, putting some pressure on the person. They begin wondering how they are going to improve the organization and if their attempts will be successes. The center for leadership and service (CLS) would like to assist all Kean University organizations executive board members with their new leadership roles. From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday, June 3, 2015, and Thursday, June 4, 2015, the Student Group Leadership Conference will take place in the University Center (UC). For Kean Ocean student leaders, the conference will be held on Tuesday, June 9, 2015. The gathering of executive boards also serves as an opportunity for individuals to meet those in other organizations, perhaps coming in handy over the next year.
Although the conference spans over two days, student leaders are to only attend their group’s assigned day. By now individuals should have received an email at their Kean University account which day they are expected to attend. Both scheduled days will consist of the same material and workshops being covered. Check-in on both dates will be held at 9 a.m. in the Cougar’s Den, located on the first floor of the UC, where a light breakfast will be provided. Following breakfast, student leaders will be welcomed to the conference and a brief breakdown of the day will be given. Over the course of the day workshops are to be held in the UC. Some workshops are requirements for a student leader to attend due to their position in the given organization. After completing the required workshops, individuals are to attend any of the 30 workshops so that they may gain a diverse amount of knowledge helpful to any executive board position. Attendees are given lunch, and an optional dinner is scheduled to be served at 5 p.m.
There is a registration form student leaders are required to fill out, on which it is to be stated if they will be in attendance. For those interested in attending the dinner portion of the day, they must rsvp on the registration form.
The registration form for student group executive board members is available on Cougar Link at https://kean.collegiatelink.net/form/start/69081.
Come the fall semester, there is a new group of leaders on campus. These student leaders wish to grow their organization, in return bettering the Kean community.
