Description
The presenters will define collaborative leadership and examine its application on residence hall staffs at Catholic colleges and universities. They will share what collaborative leadership looks like in Fields Hall, an undergraduate female residence hall at the University of Portland. They will share how resident assistants (RAs) are guided to take ownership of their communities and to develop an individual sense of spirituality that they integrate into their RA roles and careers. They will reveal how these ideas link to training from the University’s residence life department that develops RAs’ self-confidence and provides skills in areas like public speaking and conflict management. Finally, they will share steps to improve students’ residential learning experience and professional development using academic research conducted by one of their very own Fields Hall RAs.
