Description
To promote student engagement and leadership in the development of first-generation student support at our institution, students proposed and worked with administration to develop an elected student chair to participate on the First-Generation Student Support Committee. This institution wide committee provides strategic leadership for resources and programming throughout the college. This workshop will provide background on the development of a position description for the chair, incorporation into the student council charter, and support and growth of the role. Examples will be provided of the student-led initiatives that have been incorporated into the resource allocation for first-generation student support. Through case exploration, participants will be able to explore the value of this structure for peer support and student leadership development and a collaborative model of student and administration joint leadership.
