Abstract
Research has shown the value in both Student Affairs and Academic Affairs approaches to student leadership education and development, yet many curricular and co-curricular programs continue to operate independently. Institutions that offer both curricular and co-curricular leadership programs are uniquely positioned to leverage the expertise from each university division for the shared goal of providing students with active, experiential learning opportunities in leadership. In this application paper, partnerships that crossed institutional boundaries between Student Affairs, Enrollment Management, and an Academic Affairs organizational leadership undergraduate Bachelor of Arts degree program are discussed. By bridging these institutional divisions, shared expertise was leveraged, student learning outcomes were enriched, and program exposure was increased through experiential learning and relational leadership.
