New chapters receive additional leadership development through our leadTODAY event. Like Leadership Academy, the curriculum is based on The Five
Practices of Exemplary Leadership. The programming is adapted for the chapter setting and includes all chapter members. The event is meant to cultivate leaders and leadership skills within the chapter, which will contribute to its long-term success.
General Convention is held every two years. The event is open to all collegiate and alumna members. Attendees have the opportunity to vote on important organizational topics, network with one another and attend educational sessions and workshops.

According to the textbook, Introduction to Leadership: Concepts and Practice, there are over 100 definitions of the word “leadership”, and all of them are unique in their own way (Northouse, 2015, p.1). There are so many different aspects to leadership that is it nearly impossible to have one definition that covers every area. Each and every person that is a considered a leader has his or her own way of leading because every situation, whether it be work, a team, at home, etc., calls for different and distinctive ways of leading people. Northouse states that there are six main aspects of leadership; it’s a trait, ability, skill, behavior, relationship, and an influential process (Northouse, p. 3-6). Giving a clear answer as to what leadership is defined as is very difficult, but this paper will talk about my specific leadership skills and what leadership means to me.
We know an important part of developing the whole woman is preparing her for life after graduation. With the future in mind, we cultivate leaders and develop strong women. We motivate our members to assume responsibility, take risks, serve their communities and achieve worthy goals. For it is only then that we can begin to transform our community and the world. Kappa seeks to help members become the women they aspire to be. Every Member Education (EME) will serve to reinforce the mission and values of Adelphi by engaging students and encouraging them to make an impact in the community. As a reminder, our Pillars of Education include: Because we recognize member development doesn't stop at the end of the new member program, EME begins on the first day of membership and continues throughout a member’s lifetime. Topics are presented in a variety of ways, including an online learning portal with concise and engaging courses, educational events and in-person workshops delivered by certified trainers.
I always thought I would be a teacher and I would make differences in lives and it would be the greatest experience in the world for me, yet being a teacher wasn’t enough, I had a need to expand my education. I decided that perhaps I needed a new career, however, I felt certain education remained my passion. I began to explore new areas of education and I realized I still want to be a member of a classroom, a school and curriculum. I aspire to guide those leading our classrooms.
There are two kinds of people in this world, followers and leaders. Followers are the people that never take a leadership role in any activity. "They are more valued by followers and have higher performing teams." (Cherry 2014) However, leaders are the ones that use their leadership skills to make a difference in this world, such as presidents, teachers, or even college graduates. Leadership is not something you can learn from a book, but you have to gain this skill through experiences such as holding an office, organizing an event, speaking in front of people, or participating in a leadership program.

My philosophy of education is correlated to my vision of education and my role as an instructional leader. Excellent administrators possess personal characteristics of exemplary leadership talent in analysis of data, organizational constructs, leadership decisiveness, oral and written communication, technological confidence, personal motivation and educational integrity within school systems. Educational leadership is a vital position in which I persistently evaluate every decision I make on behalf of students; what is the educational value? Will all students benefit? Is it fiscally responsible? How do we sustain success? In order for students to be competitive locally, nationally and internationally, I am committed to providing effective,
This past school year I have been social chair of Nursing Students Without Borders. I have organized, implemented and hosted social events throughout the Fall of 2016 and the Spring of 2017.

I have been able to participate in leadership meetings and have learned how to plan well and how to improve event planning.
Using positive values teachers and the school faculty can aid the student’s parents in the formation of the student’s values.
The study of leadership in higher education brings with it a multitude of concepts, theories, and topics to learn, and as a novice researcher, it is important to explore as many of these concepts as possible during your degree program in order to gain a better understanding of the magnitude the study of leadership in higher education covers. Throughout a doctoral program on leadership in higher education, candidates will encounter hundreds of scholarly articles and empirical studies that fall in the purview of postsecondary leadership. When reviewing these articles, it is important to analyze and synthesize each piece of research to determine the methodologies used by scholar-practitioners and identify best practices in educational

Every single interaction becomes like cells in the body, swimming towards the heart of the school and its singular purpose: Children. People, singular or in groups, can be as dynamic as the many system of the body, each with its own primary function but also each with its true purpose in sustaining equilibrium.
