TOPICS
Building community as students:
Student leaders are key in developing a positive living and learning environment in their colleges while providing support to help residents resolve academic, social, and personal concerns. They can also assist with the transition to university, provide academic orientation, and offer social or cultural programming to foster a thriving and vibrant community!
Fostering Volunteering and Service Learning: Colleges and Halls of Residence at the Service of Wider Communities
In response to contemporary societal challenges, it’s essential to cultivate social responsibility for universities, colleges, and neighboring communities. How can student leaders shape discussions on social issues, volunteer activities, and fulfill their missions within their neighboring communities?
Mental Health & Well-being
How can we create communities where students can flourish?
We are looking for valuable practices to promote well-being and healthy lifestyles among residence halls. Our discussions will unravel approaches and practical strategies aimed at recognizing mental health difficulties and fostering mental well-being for students across diverse backgrounds.
Sustainability & Environment
Can colleges be factors of change for climate action? Sustainability practices on campus demonstrate a college's commitment to embody sustainability values, reduce its carbon footprint, and demonstrate environmental responsibility.
The Student Leadership Bootcamp is looking for good practices and initiatives led by students on teaching sustainability competencies.
