Abstract

Leadership practitioners and scholars in higher education play a crucial role in fostering student involvement, leadership development, and campus engagement both within and beyond the classroom. This practical, theory-informed presentation offers a template and key considerations for facilitating high-impact, student-driven experiential learning programs. By incorporating campus technology to bridge in-person and online learning and assessment, these strategies promote active learning, build a sense of community, and develop leadership capabilities at the individual, group, and societal levels.
