Best Practices for Starting a Student-Led Management Organization on Campus

Abstract: This roundtable session presents best practices for starting a student-led (versus faculty-led or staff-led) professional organization on a university campus which helps to build leadership and management skills through hands-on practical experiences, events, and activities outside of the classroom. As a jumping-off point of discussion, we will share a brief overview of our experiences overseeing the student-led management organization on our campus. Participants will share their own successes and challenges in starting and/or leading student-led organizations at their institutions, leading to best practices and recommendations.
