Student Leadership Opportunities:
Becoming a Volunteer or Paraprofessional Student Leader in the Division of Enrollment and Student Services
Student leaders are a vibrant part of the Division of Enrollment and Student Services (ESS). Paraprofessional and volunteer student leaders in various roles receive leadership learning and coaching while supporting other students across campus. Students who participate in these ESS volunteer and paid student leadership opportunities were found to have capacities for leadership for social change that exceed the national and local random samples, and many comparison student leader samples at other universities across the country; this research, conducted at WWU as a part of a national study, the Multi-Institutional Study of Leadership, suggest that these leadership opportunities are excellent experiences for WWU students.
