Student Leadership Advocates

What is SLA?

Student Leadership Advocates (SLA) is a peer leadership cohort supported by the Office of Student Life's Department of Leadership & Community Engagement.

The role of SLA is to support the Ohio State community in leadership development, primarily through providing facilitation for leadership development workshops and retreats. SLA works with student leaders from across the university to support them as they develop as students and leaders.

SLAs take part in multiple years of experiential leadership education and training, while also providing Ohio State student organizations with facilitation services. As an SLA you will learn more about how you can become a stronger leader, while also helping others become stronger leaders. After becoming a certified SLA facilitator, you will be qualified to participate in leading any of the several workshops we offer that impact over 3,000 students a year.

We offer workshops for over 20 different leadership development topics and are happy to work with you on the content you need if you do not see it here. Some of our most popular workshop topics include:

• Personal Assessments Including
  • Values
  • True Colors 
  • VIA Values In Action
  • Gallup StrengthsQuest
  • Adobe My Creative Types
  • Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI)
  • Love Languages
• Time Management
• Personal Branding
• Retention
• Recruitment
• Mentoring
• Team Building and Trust
• Leadership Transitions
• Leadership and Vulnerability
