SLP KC Mission
The mission of the Student Leadership Program Knowledge Community (SLP KC) is to serve as a
resource for higher education professionals who have a professional interest in young-adult (i.e., college
students) leadership training, education, and development. The Community will share best
practices, provide critical evaluation of the field, examine standards for leadership programs, support
national and regional efforts to develop student leadership programs, make contributions to the literature, recognize exemplary programs, and
cultivate a forum for the presentation of new ideas.
