John Wiley & Sons Inc. today announces a partnership with Collegiate
Empowerment®, a 501c3 nonprofit education
production company committed to the mission of Helping College
Students Get What They Want and Need, to bring The
Student Leadership Challenge Experience to universities nationwide.
The Student Leadership Challenge Experience takes the time-tested
content of The
Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership® and combines it
with the high-energy, engaging and relevant teaching style of Collegiate
Empowerment to deliver unique leadership seminars directly to students
on college campuses. The Student Leadership Challenge Experience teaches
that leadership development is essential for personal development and
the first step to helping students clarify a bigger vision for
themselves and the impact they will make in the world.
“The Student Leadership Challenge Experience was developed to bring a
leadership experience that’s fun, entertaining and full of information
with lasting results to universities,” said Tony D’Angelo, Founder and
Producer of Collegiate Empowerment. “By combining The Five Practices
outlined in Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner’s The Student Leadership
Challenge with the Collegiate Empowerment approach, we’re able to
meet students where they’re at and guide them through a meaningful
conversation that illuminates their own personal best leadership
experience as well as insights into the bigger questions of who they are
and what impact they will make.”
The Student Leadership Challenge Experience approach has four steps:
information, association, inspiration and application. Each step builds
on the last to take participants deeper into The Five Practices of
Exemplary Leadership to see how the practices turn up in students’ daily
lives. It creates a shared leadership language among student clubs and
organizations, residence halls and student cohorts so young leaders can
talk about leadership issues and run their organizations, groups and
teams in a way that fosters collaboration and sustainability throughout
the academic year.
Two schools have completed The Student Leadership Challenge Experience
with Collegiate Empowerment with great success: Lycoming College in
Williamsport, PA and Arizona State University. The program is now being
expanded and will be utilized by 25 universities in 2015.
“The Student Leadership Challenge Experience has proven to inspire our
students to seize opportunities and take the initiative to make a
difference,” said Lawrence Mannolini III, Director of Student Programs
and Leadership Development at Lycoming College. “We find the content of
this program is an invaluable asset for the goals our students have
following their collegiate experience. It is a program we trust and one
that the students find relatable.”
The Student Leadership Challenge Experience is now available for
leadership seminars, retreats and conferences nationwide. For more
