Empower Your Student Leaders

Leadership programs for students help them to learn about team building, goal setting, recruiting, delegating, budgeting, risk taking, working collaboratively, and networking, while enabling them to bolster their resumes and cultivate relationships. But when you’re busy running one or more departments or programs, it’s difficult to find time to create and implement a student leadership program that delivers results. Our AAL team does the heavy lifting, so you don’t have to.

How We Do It

Our experts lead your organization through the essential steps in developing, executing, and assessing a student leadership program (SLP):

Discover

Our team will conduct a series of administrative, faculty, and student interviews, as well as assess existing leadership development resources, to determine which competencies, curriculum, and structure is most valuable for your student leadership program. This stage will help us minimize redundancy to other courses, map the SLP curriculum to existing competencies, and encourage support from stakeholders.

Build

We will submit a report that includes the first draft of the curriculum and structure, selection criteria and process, and the plan for evaluating outcomes.

Deliver

In collaboration with your staff, we will present the SLP curriculum to the students selected to participate in one-hour sessions over 6-12 months, either in person or online, based on your organization’s preference.

Evaluate

AAL will survey SLP participants during the program to assess and recalibrate the curriculum as well as provide individual guidance as needed. Follow-up assessments will be conducted with graduates of the SLP to evaluate the program’s long-term impacts on participants’ professional and personal development.

Success Stories

“I've taken quite a few leadership courses and seminars; none come close to the material involved and coordination AAL. Sprinkle a little genuine interest in seeing us succeed and well intentions and you have the best leadership mentors PERIOD.”

Dr. Khaled Hussein

BronxCare Health System

“The program was very valuable in the way that it gave us some real tools, some real opportunities and ways to evaluate ourselves and our own approaches to leadership and then gave us an opportunity of how to apply that to interprofessional education. I think that was the best … the applicability of the tools that were provided to us and how we can utilize those were just amazing. It was very valuable and an opportunity to evaluate yourself with the tools that they provided to give an introspective look into your own leadership style and what other people thought of your leadership, and that was very powerful.”

Dr. Kevin Brueilly

Wingate University Levine College of Health Sciences

“I think the program was excellent. There were many excellent sessions. They were very stimulating. They kept us moving, very thought provoking. I thought the program overall was well designed, and as I said very thought provoking. For the inaugural program, it was well put together. You could see the passion in the instructors, who were very well versed in the topics that they talked about. I’m really pleased to be a part of this, and as a social worker, I really got a great sense of how interprofessional education can be very instrumental in terms of social workers working in healthcare settings. I think this is the wave of the future, and this program will gain traction in the future. I’m just glad to be a part of it.”
