Student Leadership Group

The aim of the Student Leadership Group (SLG) is to develop your leadership skills and give you the opportunity to put them into practice.

In addition to obtaining a certificate of completion, you will apply and consolidate your leadership skills in one of the following contexts:

Course advisory Committee

As a Course Advisory Committee student representative, you have the chance to influence the direction of courses to better meet student needs

Annual Research Conference Organising Committee

This program provides an important student leadership function and acts as a formal conduit for communications between courses, students and teaching staff

Academic board

As a student representative on the Academic Board you will gain insight into Board governance

Cairnmillar Student Society

As a founding member of the Cairnmillar Student Society, you will have an opportunity to develop event management skills, work with a budget and contribute to the Cairnmillar student culture

What is the time commitment?

There are two aspects of the training:

  • You will need to attend four 50-minute lunch and learn webinars and;

  • Participate in one volunteer student representative activity such as the Cairnmillar Student Society, the Academic Board, the Student-Led Conference or a Course Advisory Committee.

The Student Leadership Program will enable you to:

  • connect with potential future colleagues/networks
