LEADERSHIP SKILLS

Student Leadership Trainings

The Office of Student Engagement & Development hosts trainings for students interested in developing their leadership capacity and gaining leadership skills.

Student Leadershipalooza

The annual Student Leadershipalooza is required for all student organization presidents and highly encouraged for all new officers of student organizations to attend.

Each participant will talk with other organizations and their own membership about goal setting, team building, and ensuring organizational success. Content is curated around student organization leaders and elements that are critical to the success of student organizations and groups.

  T-SPACE Training

T-SPACE training is required in order for student organizations to reserve campus spaces for events. Student organization leaders can complete the training anytime during the academic year, though it is best to complete it in June after officer transitions.

Only one representative of each organization may receive reservation privileges. After successfully passing the quiz, the representative will be issued a password that provides access to T-SPACE. Outgoing T-SPACE coordinators should continue to make reservations until new officers receive an updated login and password.

  Risk Management Training

Following section 51.9361 of the Texas State Education Code, student organization officers must complete a Risk Management Training at the beginning of each academic year. The Office of Student Engagement & Development will share training information with:

• Presidents
• Risk Management Chairs
• Orientation Chairs
• Recruitment and Membership Chairs
• Social Chairs responsible for planning events

If an organization’s designated student officers do not complete this required training, the organization will be placed on inactive status and will lose all privileges associated with recognition as an active organization.

 Student Org Leadership Development Series

This semesterly series allows student leaders to network with one another - and staff and faculty across campus - while discussing vitally important topics such as free expression and difficult dialogues, LGBTQIA+ allyship, boundary setting, how to leverage one’s leadership experience in the job search, and other salient topics. Each workshop ties back to Trinity’s values of intentional inclusion, enduring excellence, and perpetual discovery.

 Finance Training

This training ensures that student organization treasurers, and other relevant organizational leaders, are equipped to effectively handle their organization’s finances. This includes, but is not limited to, learning more about accessing and utilizing on-campus student organization account funds, RSO P-Card rules, budgeting tips and techniques, and the SGA funding process.

 Fraternity & Sorority Life Officer Training

Given that Trinity’s Fraternity & Sorority Life is primarily local, and not supported by national headquarters, Student Engagement & Development handles training and development for the community. This includes a robust slate of workshops for organization leaders. This includes, but is not limited to, the following officer workshops:

• Alumni Chair Training
• Greek Council Retreat
• Risk Management Training
• Recruitment Workshop
• Judicial Chair Training
• Service Chair Training
• Orientation Chair Training
• and more!
