领导人 is a graduation distinction awarded to students who successfully complete multiple high-impact learning experiences both in and out of the classroom. 通过这些经历，学生学会:
- serve as leaders in both formal and informal capacities,
- apply disciplinary knowledge in professional settings,
- appreciate diversity and perspectives other than their own,
- seek out innovation and creative solutions to problems,
- create new knowledge and share it with the world, and
- use their knowledge and skills to improve the community around them.
领导人 graduates complete at least twice as many high-impact learning experiences as the national standard, including a comprehensive showcase of their skills and experiences via ePortfolio.
有两个项目要求:
- 完成至少三个 领导人指定课程/经验
- 展示和反思这些经历 ePortfolio.
Both requirements must be completed in order to graduate with a 领导人 distinction.
Distinction levels are awarded based on the number of courses/experiences completed:
- Students who complete three courses or experiences are eligible to earn 领导人 Bronze distinction
- Students who complete four courses or experiences are eligible to earn 领导人 Silver distinction
- Students who complete five or more courses or experiences are eligible to earn 领导人 Gold distinction
When students join 领导人, a new 领导人 tab is added to the bottom of their Degree Works. Current 领导人 candidates and their advisors can track their progress and plan future course selections by reviewing this tab alongside the student’s 学位课程. Prospective students and their advisors can use the “What if” function in Degree Works to identify the extent to which their existing coursework satisfies 领导人 progress.
The student is likely part of an auto-enrollment campaign. 从2022-2023年开始, program staff began collaborating with key campus partners to automatically enroll students in the 领导人 program. For example: the 影响学习社区 team found that many ILC students wished that their experiences could continue on beyond the fall semester. Enrolling these students directly into 领导人 in the spring semester following their fall ILC participation provides these students with connections to further experiences.
Students who are part of an auto-enrollment campaign receive notification that informs them of the enrollment and provides an opportunity to opt-out. 这个链接 is an example of the notification letter sent to ILC students. If the student missed the opt-out communication and would like to withdraw from 领导人, 他们所需要做的就是填写表格 这种形式.
预先核准的领袖课程 被标记为Banner. Degree Works uses these tags to populate a student’s progress in their respective section in the 领导人 tab. If a student would like to satisfy a 领导人 area through the completion of a co-curricular experience (ex. 领导 Lecture Series, Alternative Spring Break, etc.), they can notify the 领导人 team and have the experience manually added to their tab. The link to 这种形式, along with other helpful information, can be found in the student’s 领导人 画布上课程.
It should be noted that Degree Works can only display one course or experience per 领导人 area. If a student has completed multiple qualifying courses or experiences in a given section, Degree Works might display something different than the student’s preference. 为了解决这个问题，学生们应该简单地发邮件 leaders@ddxx9.com 使用请求的更改. The 领导人 team can work with the Registrar to make necessary adjustments as needed.
It’s essentially a “free space” for graduating students to self-identify a high-impact course or co-curricular learning experience that was particularly meaningful to them and earn progress towards their final 领导人 distinction level. Program staff have identified a few pre-approved elective courses and experiences, such as 年度校园主题, 公民参与经历, 顶点课程，或参与某项活动 Impact 学习 社区 or Living 学习 社区. 除了, students can self-identify other high-impact learning experiences beyond those which carry 领导人 pre-approval. This process is tracked internally between graduating seniors and 领导人 staff. More information can be found in the student’s 领导人 画布上课程.
