- [00:00:14.948]So we have a wide variety of offerings.
- [00:00:17.317]We have both a master's and Ph.D. program in leadership,
- [00:00:21.154]as well as a graduate minor in leadership education,
- [00:00:23.656]as well as a graduate personal l eadership certificate.
- [00:00:26.092]Now, within the graduate program, now we're teaching students
- [00:00:29.162]to become professionals in the leadership field.
- [00:00:31.464]And that might take a variety of pathways.
- [00:00:34.434]One we are preparing students to be researchers
- [00:00:38.338]contributing a scholarship to the leadership field,
- [00:00:41.274]we're also preparing them to become practitioners in the leadership field.
- [00:00:44.377]Being able to design leadership development programs to serve
- [00:00:47.781]as leadership consultants, or to enhance existing programing.
- [00:00:52.085]My only connection to ALEC was NHRI leadership mentoring.
- [00:00:54.888]So I was a mentor in NHRI for three years and had a great experience.
- [00:00:59.392]I took ALEC 102,
- [00:01:02.996]and then I TA’ed for that class, and then I took a different ALEC class.
- [00:01:07.667]So I had a little bit of undergraduate experience in the program,
- [00:01:11.604]but I wasn't thinking like longer term graduate studies in ALEC.
- [00:01:15.008]But Doctor Hastings, Doctor Lindsay Hastings asked
- [00:01:18.378]if I'd be interested in pursuing the Master of Leadership, Education.
- [00:01:22.816]And she sort of pitched me on the benefits of that program
- [00:01:26.686]and offered me this opportunity to continue working with NHRI.
- [00:01:30.290]And so that was a very easy. Yes.
- [00:01:32.058]When people people ask me like, what do I like about UNL.
- [00:01:33.526]And what do I like about ALEC.
- [00:01:34.427]Like it's always the relationships that come to mind first
- [00:01:37.130]and just kind of the collaborative spirit that's in our department.
- [00:01:40.967]If you come down to
- [00:01:41.734]our grad student office space, in the basement at Filley,
- [00:01:45.605]it's very collaborative, very much,
- [00:01:48.508]you know, collegial, like, hey, how's it going?
- [00:01:51.578]How can I help you?
- [00:01:52.779]You know, what's been the highlight of your semester?
- [00:01:54.647]What's been challenging you just very, like I said, collaborative and,
- [00:01:58.051]meaningful as well for for relationship building.
- [00:02:02.255]Some of my favorite moments in the graduate program is taking students
- [00:02:05.859]with me to research conferences and watching them present their research
- [00:02:10.663]with confidence, with excitement, watching them win awards,
- [00:02:15.368]gaining faculty roles across the country because it says to me that they have fully
- [00:02:20.540]invested themselves in becoming scholar practitioners in this space
- [00:02:25.044]and have applied themselves, to have excellence in this field.
