Group Project (GP)
SLDS recognizes the fact that to fully develop leadership skills students need practical hands-on experience. Through the process of creating and implementing team-based group projects, SLDS students learn how to catalyze, organize, and lead initiatives on campus and in the community. We are committed to developing student leaders that are prepared to take-on new challenges and to promote positive social change.

PLEASE NOTE UPDATE TO GROUP PROJECT REQUIREMENT:
Earn credit for the work you put into the SLDS Group Project requirement! Students interested in completing the SLDS Group Project requirement for their leadership certificate will need to enroll in an SAS 198 course to receive units and certificate credit.
This course is Pass/No Pass and has a prerequisite of completing 5-6 leadership seminars. (Special prerequisite modifications considered on a case-by-case basis.)
Participating students MUST ATTEND ONE initial Group Project meeting to form teams for the quarter. Group Project meetings are NOT informational meetings regarding the SLDS program or requirements. Group Project meetings are designed to form teams which will work on a project, unanimously agreed upon by group members, for the entire quarter. Students only need to attend ONE Group Project meeting to join a team.
Students who sign up and attend a meeting are expected to commit to their team and the project for the ENTIRE quarter. The nature, topic and duties related to the project are determined by the team formed at the initial Group Project meeting. Following this initial meeting, students are required to participate in a 9-week long SLDS Group Project, where meeting times, participation expectations and assigned duties are determined by the Group Project Team. Students can expect to spend a MINIMUM of 2-2.5 hours per week in meetings and on projects details. Weekly updates to the staff advisor, a self reflection and peer evaluation, and final project presentation are required to receive units and certificate credit.
