![Page 20: Ohio State’s Center for Student Leadership & Service:](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062813/5681662f550346895dd994e6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Academic Trends• From information gathered through
NCLP website:– 44 campuses list their co-curricular programs– Benchmarking report of 176 co-curricular programs
available from NCLP– 17 campuses (of 24) self-report hosting a leadership
minor or certificate program– 8 campuses (of 24) self-report hosting a leadership
major
![Page 21: Ohio State’s Center for Student Leadership & Service:](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062813/5681662f550346895dd994e6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Trends at Delegate Campuses• Brief and Informal Benchmarking:
– Looked at union/student center websites from 37 campuses (of 187 attending campuses)
– 25 campuses have leadership programs directly tied to, or housed in the union/student center
– 22 campuses have community service programs directly tied to, or housed in the union/student center
![Page 22: Ohio State’s Center for Student Leadership & Service:](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062813/5681662f550346895dd994e6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Trends at Delegate Campuses• Office Names Included:
– Leadership and Involvement– Leadership or Student Leadership– Campus Life or Student Activities– No office (direct report to the union/student center)
• Linking Leadership and Service– Only 4 campuses directly linked leadership and
service or civic engagement initiatives in one area
![Page 23: Ohio State’s Center for Student Leadership & Service:](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062813/5681662f550346895dd994e6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Successes and Challenges• Great number and variety of existing
programming across campus• Creating new initiatives that would not have
existed without the new Center• Interest and support from alumni donors for
existing and new programs• Building partnerships across campus with
Student Life and Academic Affairs (little bit of both)

Successes and Challenges• Establishing a new Center with limited and
revolving staffing and financial resources• Marketing a new Center without a physical
space• Facility design completed before Center
concept completed• Gaining buy-in from Student Life
departments, when the Center is largely managed by one department
