Join us for the Welcome Day Ambassador Training on March 28-29, 2012, designed for the Center for Student Leadership Development (CSLD). Our mission is twofold: to advance leadership studies through research and to empower students to become informed leaders in their communities and careers. This training will equip you to effectively communicate URI's unique offerings, engage with prospective students, and address their inquiries. From personal experiences to handling various situations, we'll prepare you to showcase Leadership Studies and the CSLD as invaluable resources for their future growth.

Welcome Day Ambassador Training March 28-29, 2012
Mission of the CSLD • The Center for Student Leadership Development has a two pronged mission: • To engage in research and assessment in order to contribute to the field of leadership studies. • To provide developmental opportunities for students to become informed, inclusive, and effective leaders in their careers, communities, and family lives.
Credibility • What makes you credible to prospective students? • Why are we asking you to talk to prospective students?
Purpose of the Welcome Days • To inform prospective students of what URI has to offer • To “sell” the CSLD to prospective students as an amazing resource that URI has to offer
Why URI? • Very common question from prospective students • How would you answer this question? • What makes URI stand out?
Important! • You are not here to talk about the food, the dorms, or anything else not related to Leadership Studies! • Everything you say reflects back on the CSLD
Why Leadership? • Why are you minoring in Leadership Studies? • What experiences have you had with the CSLD that made you choose leadership studies?
Experiences within the CSLD • Leadership Institute • HDF 190 • Challenge Course Facilitator Training • MLK Day • What other experiences have you had?
Situation 1 • A student and a parent approach you. You begin to tell the student about leadership, but the student immediately cuts you off and starts asking about general campus life (dining halls, dorms, etc.) How do you handle the situation?
Situation 2 • A parent and student approach you and begins to ask questions about the minor. Once you begin talking, the parent cuts you off and begins to tell you about all of the exceptional things the student did in high school. How do you continue your explanation of the minor?
Situation 3 • A student approaches you with their parents, and the parents do all of the talking, while the student quietly stands by. How do you engage the shy student to give them insight into the minor?
At the Welcome Day… • Live applications will be available • Have prospective students mention your name in their essay! • Talk to students, let Robert/Jeff talk to the parents!
