University kicks off student leadership initiative
By Emily Poe | November 10, 2009Student leaders from various organizations across Grounds met last night at dinner to announce the Cross-Cultural Leadership Initiative, a new program launched by the Office of the Dean of Students. The initiative is co-sponsored by Student Council, the Minority Rights Coalition, the Honor Committee, the Office of Diversity and Equity, the Vice President for Student Affairs, the Latino Student Alliance and the Middle Eastern Leadership Council. Student Council Vice President Colin Hood, who worked closely with the Office of the Dean of Students and other organizations to solidify the foundations of the initiative, said the new project is similar to the contracted independent organization leadership project Student Council announced recently. "This one has more of a focus toward cultural programming," Hood said.
