The Alliance for Student
Development and Engagement held the Second Annual ACS
Student Sustainable Leadership Workshop in the spring of
2003. The theme of the workshop was "Engaging Campus Leaders in a Vision for the
Future." The conference will took place March 7-9, 2003, at the
Heifer International Ranch in Perryville, Arkansas.
 Forty students from eleven ACS schools attended, along with six alliance
members.
The alliance chose to focus on campus leaders in their
recruitment of conference attendees instead of green students this year.
The attendees were lead through exercises in leadership, personal
accountability, and grant writing. They
were given time to formulate action plans for their campus and the
organizations they represented. They
also participated in the Global Village experience at the Heifer Ranch
where they learned more about the economic and environmental realities
of people around the world, as well as group cooperation.
The keynote speaker for the conference was George Bandy II, the Social
Sustainability Manager at Interface Research Inc. Mr.
Bandy worked with the students for an afternoon, discussing the
topic of sustainability and leadership in the workforce today and
conducting exercises along these topics.
