Student Leadership Council
Description of activity
Invite student leaders from the local professional pharmacy associations
and fraternities to participate in monthly or periodic student council
meetings. Representatives may also include elected leaders from each
pre-professional or professional class. The council provides student
leaders with an opportunity for additional professional development. The
council may also encourage collaboration and discussion on common
issues. With the help of faculty advisors, student representatives
should develop a mission statement to guide the activities of the group.
The group may come together to organize campus events, community service
activities, fundraisers, or to advise the administration on issues
related to student life.
Rationale
The leadership council provides opportunities for students to get
involved in community and campus-based projects. Student leaders can
enhance their negotiation and communication skills that may transfer to
the workplace or community. Student leadership deepens each student's
commitment to the values of the profession and may help to encourage
other students to participate in a professional association.
