Do More: Leadership Development Program
Lewis-Clark State College (Idaho)
College officials renamed the Student Union Building as the Student Union Building/Center for Student Leadership in 2018 and began offering a variety of leadership opportunities to students. The goal was to prepare students to become successful leaders, engaged citizens, and lifelong learners by promoting diverse learning, exploration, and campus involvement to supplement their academic experiences.
One opportunity is through the LC Leadership Spotlight, a monthly event that features speakers from the campus and community focusing on different areas of leadership. Another monthly opportunity, the Skills Builder Series highlights campus personnel presenting on a transferable skill, such as communication, and help students hone these skills through open discussion and practical application.
In 2020, LC State began to offer a digital micro credential through Idaho SkillStack. To receive the credential’s digital badge, students complete requirements that include participating in the Center for Student Leadership programs, becoming a student leader—either through holding an officer role in one of the many student organizations or serving as a peer mentor or resident assistant, and participating in various campus activities and workshops. Student progress is tracked through the Do More App, where they reflect on these experiences.
