DSA COMMITTEE ON LEADERSHIP INITIATIVES
The DSA Committee on Leadership Initiatives is charged with enhancing communication and collaboration within the Division of Student Affairs pertaining to leadership programs. The committee also serves as the steering committee for the Maroon & White Leadership Program. The committee identifies areas in the division where education and training about leadership is needed and explores new trends in leadership education.
LEADERSHIP LEARNING
TRAINING
Leadership Training means opportunities for skill-based learning. These experiences usually take place in workshops, seminars, and trainings.
EDUCATION
Leadership Education means opportunities for learning that is informed by theory or research. These experiences usually take place in a more formal setting, such as an academic course.
DEVELOPMENT
Leadership Development means actively engaging in opportunities where skills can be practiced. These experiences are usually longer in term.
The purpose of The Maroon & White Leadership Fellows is to guide participants in developing their identity as leaders through engaging in leadership development, education, and training while at Texas A&M University.
LEADERSHIP EDUCATORS' NETWORK
The Texas A&M Leadership Educators' Network is open to faculty, administrators, and professional staff dedicated to the promotion of leadership development, education, and training of students at Texas A&M University.
The network convenes once per semester to share emerging developments and best practices, dialogue across curricular and co-curricular dimensions of leadership such as foundational leadership competencies, and collaborate on projects and events.
