A guide to support student, college, and university leaders
Across Minnesota State, student participation and involvement are integral parts of student leadership and development. Student representatives are a part of the decision-making process on campus, at the system office, and on the Board of Trustees.
The Minnesota State Student Affairs unit has created a guide to support student and college and university leaders in their work related to Board Policy 2.3 and System Procedure 2.3.1 – Student Involvement in Decision-Making.
Student involvement in decision-making is an important learning experience for student leaders at all Minnesota State colleges and universities.
The Student Involvement in Decision-Making Guide
The guide includes advice on key elements to student participation and involvement:
- Strengthening Student Involvement on Committees
- Fostering Trust through Proactive Communication
- Cultivating Collaboration through Common Goals
It also provides student consultation tips during decision-making processes to ensure:
- Awareness
- Input
- Feedback
- Recommendations
- Respect
Students who are required to write a Campus Student Association Letter can also find guidance on what to include.
