Student Leadership & Development in the United States - ACUMA Conference presentation
- Robert Stephenson, General Manager of Bendigo Student Association, La Trobe University
ACUMA has published the presentation made by Robert Stephenson, GM of Bendigo Student Association, at the 2010 CampusLink Conference & Trade Fair, entitled "Student Leadership & Development in the United States".
The presentation was developed following Mr Stephenson's ACUMA Award-funded research trip to the United States earlier in 2010, during which he visited a variety of American institutions with leadership and development programs.
In Mr Stephenson's own words:
"I was deeply impressed by the role and significance that Student Affairs professionals - in Australia, ACUMA members - have within the Higher Education sector in the USA. In most cases, they are seen as partners in the campus-wide effort to provide a comprehensive, holistic and transformative learning experience for students.Following are a few major points that I think are relevant to the Australian experience, and that I hope will provide some thought and discussion as we continue to build our role within Australian universities...."
