A Word From the Co-Chairs Jimmy Brown, Assoc. Director, Student Leadership Development, University of Chicago Kim Kushner, Coord. for Events & New Student Programs, University of Missouri-Kansas City

On behalf of the SLPKC Leadership Team, we would like to welcome you and share in the excitement of starting a new academic year! It is hard to believe that only seven months ago we were all gathered in Indianapolis for the Annual Conference – my goodness, how the time flies. We hope this summer was relaxing and gave you time to reflect, rejuvenate, and prepare to welcome our students to campus. This fall semester has proven to be busy for the SLPKC, and we hope that you have been following our social media to stay informed of all the new resources and opportunities that we have been able to share. The mission of the SLPKC is to serve as a resource for higher education professionals who have a professional interest in leadership training, education, and development for college students. We expect that our community will share best practices, provide critical evaluation of the field, examine standards for leadership programs, support national and regional efforts to develop student leadership programs, make contributions to the literature, recognize exemplary programs, and cultivate a forum for the presentation of new ideas. To help meet this mission, we have identified the following strategic goals for our term as co-chairs.
