Jones Selected as Emerging Leader With NACADA
Monica Jones, associate director of student-athlete academic support and achievement, has been selected for the National Academic Advising Association's Emerging Leaders 2011-2013 program. Each year, 10 Emerging Leaders and 10 Mentors are selected for the two-year program in which the leaders and mentors will work closely on connecting the Leaders to the areas of the association they are interested in and in developing a plan for continued involvement and growth in the association.
The objectives of the program include:
- To identify potential local, regional and national leaders from underrepresented groups who are interested in leadership development and leadership involvement in the association
- To identify Mentors from among experienced NACADA leadership to guide Emerging Leaders through a two-year leadership development program as they grow in their leadership in the association
- To provide Emerging Leaders with a two-year leadership development program which will develop their leadership skills for the association
- To provide opportunities for Emerging Leaders to reach out to colleagues and peers from underrepresented groups and serve as Mentors to future NACADA leaders
- To provide the support network needed and desired to foster a strong leadership development program for underrepresented populations in our association
Jones was selected from a large number of applicants for the two year term. Leaders selected will receive for the first year of the program $1,500 to assist them with travel to state, regional and national conferences.
