The Baltimore Collegetown LeaderShape
Program brings 60 students from 10 campuses
together to work towards building a
better community. Starting with a week of
leadership development in the LeaderShape
Institute and continuing with programming
and support throughout the year, students
develop visions for Baltimore and receive
follow-up support to implement their ideas
and create positive change. This program
offers a model for how to integrate leadership
and civic engagement activities to focus
student leaders from multiple campuses on
community issues.
256 Promising Practice—
Cocurricular Cornerstones: A

Student Success; Student Learning and
Development

College of the Holy Cross; Ryan Darling,
College of the Holy Cross; Ben Kadamus,
College of the Holy Cross
We frequently use the word co-curricular,
but what does it really mean? How do we
explain it? How do we do it? In his book,
Making the Most of College, Dr. Richard Light
suggests,“It should be possible to help every
student build an educational package.”
Co-curricular cornerstones are four thematic
areas in which we can help students
intentionally build educational plans. The
four areas are reflective habits, citizenship,
multicultural competency, and cura personalis
(care of self and others).
257 Promising Practice—A
Mobile Health Unit: Late Night
Education Near Campus Bars
Location: Baltimore Convention Center, 341
Program Presenter: Reginald Fennell, Miami
University-Oxford
Additional Presenters: Christopher Escue,
Miami University-Oxford
A Mobile Health Unit provides a unique
opportunity to address college student
health. We identify innovative methods used
where students “live, learn, laugh, and love”.
We discuss the types of services provided
(e.g., blood pressure screenings, CO monitor
checks, and interactive educational tools).
We review usage rates during weekends in
a college bar district. Spring semester 2010,
during one weekend, education was provided
to 229 students from 9 p.m. to midnight.
Learn how this project could be integrated
on campuses.
258 Promising Practice—
The Right Mix: Effective
Retention Programs for
Underrepresented Groups
Student Learning and Development;
Advising and Helping
Location: Baltimore Convention Center, 337
Program Presenter: Art King, Towson
University
Additional Presenters: Raft Woodus,
Towson University
Towson University has committed resources
to transforming itself into a diverse and
dynamic metropolitan university. Two initiatives
contributing to this transformative
process for underrepresented communities
are the SAGE and CEEP programs. Data
collected over a five-year period point to the
programs’ success for best practice. What
makes these programs successful in helping
to close the achievement gap? This presentation
addresses the importance of having retention
efforts in place that effectively attend
to the needs and success of underrepresented
populations.
259 Round Table—CCAPS
Roundtable: Counseling
Center Training Issues
Leadership
Location: Marriott Inner Harbor, Stadium
Ballroom 1
College counseling centers play a critical role
in the development and training of future
campus mental health professionals. This
program provides a forum for the exchange
of ideas and a discussion of trends in the
education and training of graduate students
in psychology, social work, and professional
counseling. Participants are invited to share
current challenges, questions, and innovations
related to the structure, models, and
process of training; issues of competency and
evaluation; funding and accreditation; internship
supply and demand imbalance.
260 Round Table—Both
Sides Now: The Journey
from Administrator to Faculty
Member
Personal Foundations; Leadership in
Challenging Times
Location: Marriott Inner Harbor, University 3-4
In student affairs, the grass can seem greener
on the other side; practitioners envy the
pace and schedule flexibility they associate
with preparation program faculty, and
faculty members miss the student contact
and resulting energy that practitioners enjoy.
The discussion will be facilitated by a former
dean/vice president who returned to an
interim dean’s position after four years as a
tenure-track graduate faculty member. For
those considering similar changes in career
path, what are the essential considerations?
