GS 370 - Introduction to Student Activities Progr

Institution:

Hilbert College

Subject:

Description:

This course focuses on student activities programming, emphasizing the importance of extracurricular participation and how such programming enhances classroom learning. Course study will support academic interests, while modeling student life goals. Students will be introduced to the multiple functions of student activities and college union offices in higher education, and given an overview of the student affairs field. Student development theories are examined to identify and validate a range of academically supported and student-related goals; e.g., multiculturalism, community building, wellness life-styles, contemporary issues, social interaction, and spirituality. Through these theories students will be able to show how targeted student programming initiatives, through particular campus activities and events, can be generated to reach these student affairs goals. The course will enable students to implement and evaluate actual programs through membership in student clubs and organizations. The College will be used as a model for peer program development with a focus on learning. The course provides an overview of program assessment, planning, implementation, and outcomes evaluation, and a review of related programs on other campuses. Students enrolled in GS 370 will go beyond programming through organizations to actually creating their own programs individually. They will also be introduced to theories in advising undergraduate student organizations.
