NASD Leadership Program 2011
Q: What kind of training will I receive and what other resources are available to me?
A: NASD will provide hands on assistance will all aspects of your work load. The weekly seminar will form the core of your leadership training, with those ideals being applied in your weekly assignments. Additional writing, oral communication and public speaking skills will be address as needed.
Q: How will I be assigned work?
A: The majority of work assignments will be decided at the weekly staff meeting. Additional assignments will be given by program specialist Dr. Reid Gómez (via personal communication and email).
Q: Where will I work?
A: Work space will be provided at the Native American Student Development office. Additional work may take place on campus (including libraries, research and learning centers, and relevant departments).
Q: What other responsibilities might I have?
A: Responsibilities will include all regular office duties (answering phones, taking messages, writing emails, making and keep appointments). In addition each student leader will be expected to keep a regular schedule (making and keeping appointments with students, faculty and staff). Student leaders will be expected to communicate clearly and timely in writing and orally. Student leaders will also be held accountable for completing all assigned work (web, publicity, programming) on deadline—when difficulties arise student leaders are required to communicate those difficulties as soon as they become apparent. Student leaders will also be responsible for developing an area of personal expertise (to be discussed and developed during the semester).
Q: How will seminar participation be assessed?
A: Student leaders are expected to come prepared to discuss details of the readings. They should have on their person notes, questions, responses that they can share with fellow leaders. They should be able and ready to discuss their understanding of the readings, their ideas for further application of the theories, and to raise thoughtful questions during seminar. Seminar will be a concentrated time to go over ideas already formulated at the student's leisure. Student leaders will be paid for 1 hour of reading time, each week. Reading assignments will be gone over at the end of each seminar. Student leaders are expected to ask questions when they are unclear.
Q: How will my work be assessed?
A: Student leaders are expected to active participants in all areas of the program. Dr. Gómez will assess work during the semester. Consequently communication between Dr. Gómez and student leaders is of paramount importance. If any problems should arise, Dr. Gómez will inform the student leader in writing of inadequacies in performance. Should further action be needed, CCSD Director, L. Walker will mediate.

5. Please respond to the following quote:
"Today we see a great revival of traditional practices in many tribes. Younger people are bringing back crafts, songs and dances, and religious ceremonies to make them the center of their lives. These restorations are important symbols of a sense of community, but they must be accompanied by hard and clear thinking that can distinguish what is valuable in the old ways from the behavior we are expected to practice as members of the larger American society." (Vine Deloria, Jr.,)
