Dear Brother:
It is my pleasure to greet you in the spirit of brotherhood and to announce the Ninth annual Alpha Leadership Academy for College Chapter Officers, which is scheduled for June 3 - 9, 2006, at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland.
The purpose of the academy is to provide a thorough, intense experience for young men who have been elected to lead our college chapters. What makes this program unique is the student development foundation on which it is based. Several student development theories will be used as the theoretical framework within which this academy will operate. Such theories include the Student Wellness Model for holistic development, involvement theory, service learning and many more. The Wellness Model will be of particular importance because it allows us to tap the cognitive, social, spiritual, physical, and cultural dimensions of our college brothers’ development.
The academy’s faculty will be comprised of several alumni brothers who are outstanding training and development specialists as well as student affairs practitioners who work with college brothers on a daily basis, and whose expertise will add to the breadth and depth of the academy. To date, there are one hundred and fifty-six academy alumni, whose names are included in this packet. Email addresses have also been included for graduates of the Theta Class. Please feel free to contact them for testimonials about their experience.
Enclosed, you will find a tentative academy schedule and an application for the Iota (06) Class. Please consider applying for the academy if you will be the Chapter President for the next academic year. Several college chapter presidents from each region will be selected to attend and have their registration fees covered. Additional presidents/brothers will be invited to attend at a cost of $300 per participant, which includes housing and most meals. All participants will be responsible for their own travel expenses to and from Baltimore.
If you are an alumni chapter, please encourage the president(s) of the college chapter(s) in your area to apply. Any financial assistance that alumni chapters give to assist college chapter officers will greatly enhance the success of this program. Moreover, this will be a great way to strengthen your portfolio, should you choose to compete for the coveted Charles H. Wesley Award, which recognizes exemplary college and alumni chapter relations. Please feel free to call me directly if you have any questions. I may be reached at my office (410) 516-4939 or home (410) 997-7906. You may also reach me at my Email address: .
