D.E.A.L. (Developing Effective and Aware Leaders) Program Summaries

Oglesby Union

The purpose of the D.E.A.L. (Developing Effective and Aware Leaders) program is to provide student staff, executive board members, and volunteers with the professional development needed to help them excel as student leaders using NACA (National Association for Campus Activities) Student Leader Competencies. Being a student leader on a college campus is a unique opportunity that provides a wide array of learning opportunities that not only enhance the collegiate experience but also will enhance life after college. NACA hopes to enrich what students are learning in the classroom to their experiences outside the classroom as a vital aspect of student leader development. D.E.A.L. sessions are held approximately once a month and provide an opportunity for students to relax and enjoy refreshments while having meaningful conversations with each other about their competency development.
