The 2007 National Leadership Symposium is a professional development experience designed for faculty members, student affairs professionals and other education practitioners involved with promoting college student leadership education.
The National Leadership Symposium is a joint program coordinated and sponsored by the National Association for Campus Activities (NACA) and the National Clearinghouse for Leadership Programs (NCLP). Given the intense learning environment of the Symposium (including required reading prior to attending), it is advised that participants have significant professional experience in leadership education. Registration is limited to 50 people.
In 1993, Helen and Alexander Astin of the Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA created a Working Ensemble of colleagues from across the country to contemplate a model of leadership development for academia. The work of this Ensemble produced the Social Change Model. In honor of the 10th year of the Social Change Model, this year's Symposium will consider the leadership needs of our increasingly complex and diverse world. Our scholar authors will share stories of real social change agents who exemplify the values of the model and challenge participants to make meaning of those stories as well as the lessons imbedded in the Multi-Institutional Study of Leadership. Individually and collectively, participants will consider the ways in which these stories and the study inform the work we, as leadership educators, do to educate our colleagues and students for change.
Symposium Outcomes
Learning objectives of the 2007 Symposium include:
- Understanding the contemporary leadership needs of our complex and global world
- Learning how data from the Multi-Institutional Study of Leadership can inform our leadership programs and initiatives

- Creation of a network of practitioners, educators and scholars that informs a more current understanding of the collective work
