The Student Leadership Institute (SLI) at Alamo Colleges is a great opportunity for students planning to attend any of the Alamo Colleges (Palo Alto College, St. Philip’s College, San Antonio College, Northwest Vista College & Northeast Lakeview College) to become more engaged in their college education and leadership journey.
The Student Leadership Institute (SLI) Leadership Program enables students to
Identify areas of strength
Gain leadership knowledge and skills
Network with peers, professionals, and organizations
Inspire trust
Think outside the box, and
Empower others.
During the 2013-14 academic year, students will participate in a weekly leadership class, leadership labs, and campus and community service.
In the last 9 months of the program, I have heard students say that,
- SLI has provided them with “the opportunity to participate in life changing events”
- The “dedication, responsibilities and commitment in SLI prepares me for my classes”
- SLI has really “prepped me for the real world”
- SLI is intentional, motivational, professional, and “pushes students to the next level”.
Upon completion of the program, the Student Leadership Institute will update the students’ academic transcripts with program recognition of which four-year institutions and employers critically review. Most important, students will increase their self-confidence, improve communication skills, build relationships, promote a positive image of the community college student, become a college ambassador, and emerge as a proactive and productive leader.
To be eligible for the Leadership Program, all applicants must meet the following criteria:
- Be enrolled in one of the Alamo Colleges (min. 6 credit hours)
- For High School Graduates: Earned a grade point average of 80 or higher
- For College Students: Earned a cumulative grade point average of 2.75 or higher)
The closing date to submit completed applications is July 31, 2013. More information is also available on the website at www.alamo.edu/district/sli. Should you or any of your parents and students have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (210) 485-0793 or kanderson89@alamo.edu.
