described this experience this way: “I think the whole singing component of the program was crucial for us to acquire the type of comfort level with each other and ourselves that we needed for other activities to be impactful. Some of the activities we did throughout the program were not designed to be comfortable, so everyone needed to be comfortable enough with each other to take those activities seriously and learn from them. Beyond that, it is important as a leader to be able to move through uncomfortable situations, conversations, and interactions without hesitation…”The first retreat is heavily focused on community building based on voluntary sharing of lifestories and other personal

This relationship is explored throughsecondary analysis of a national dataset. While the nature of secondary analysis prevents anexplicit exploration of all items of interest in the two identity constructs discussed above, theselimitations are outweighed in many ways through the scale of the available data and theconsistency of questions with portions of

To address this disparity, the faculty developed a student regulated learningreflection (SLR) assignment which asks each student to define leadership and teamwork, tocomplete a confidential peer-evaluation by assessing each team member’s performance andanswering a psychological safety questionnaire. The criteria looked at leadership, collaborationand inclusivity, responsibility, work quality, meeting deadlines, and communication. First, eachstudent shares their opinion regarding each criterion through a SLR, where faculty review theirreflections and provide instruction to improve gaps
