Mission:
The mission of Huge Leadership Weekend (HLW) is to provide students with continued development and growth in areas of citizenship & service, effective programming, ethics & character, interpersonal skills, organizational development, and personal development. HLW strives to serve new and seasoned professionals in a dynamic environment which fosters communication, discussion, and cognitive enhancement on a focused topic or interest.
Tracks:
The HLW is a 3-day educational and recreational retreat for student leaders and higher education professionals. HLW is comprised of two tracks:
Leadership Academy - This track is for newly selected campus leaders. Various topics are presented to develop a solid foundation and basic skills within the 6 principles.
Professional Development Workshop - Created for college professionals working in student activities and/or leadership development. Workshop presentations are designed to enhance skills in working with students in leadership roles and to introduce new developments, hot topics, and other related skills.
Curriculum:
Huge Leadership Weekend focuses on six key principles. These key principles are shared through educational presentations, group activities, one-on-one contact sessions, and small group mentor activities. The goal is to create a balanced educational experience and to provide participants useful and effective leadership skills and tools.
HLW Principles:
Citizenship/Service focuses on the responsibilities of striving to uphold community standards and being an effective member of a group and/or community, as well as the role of serving others.
Effective Programming enhances skills necessary in successfully planning, implementing, and assessing campus sponsored programs.
Ethics and Character is the study of moral standards and the distinctive qualities that set good leaders apart.
Interpersonal Skills develop skills and enforce behaviors that involve positive relationships between others.
Personal Development encourages participants to better understand oneself and to strengthen personal skills.
Organizational Development studies individual organizational skills and the skills needed to effectively lead groups.
The Professional Development Workshop is an intense educational program based on a topic area within the field of student affairs.
