Program Guide
Advancing Women Mentoring Program
AWMP is a collaborative effort between the Office of Student Involvement and the Office for
Women. Heres how the program has historically operated:
1. Mentors sign up and submit bios; bios are posted on the website; students submit
SurveyMonkey forms with some general information about themselves and, based on
the website bios, list the names of 3-5 ideal mentors.
Note: recruitment of mentors/mentees is a joint effort between both offices.
2. Staff members match mentors and mentees based on the mentees requests and the
information provided in the bios.
3. Mentors/mentees are contacted with their matches. This email also includes
information about the kick-off event and codes for the StrengthsQuest assessments
to be completed before the first meeting.
4. OSI/OFW host a mentor training.
5. There is a kick-off event where matches can meet for the first time. A
StrengthsQuest coach is invited to facilitate the programmatic aspects of this event.
6. Mentors and mentees are expected to meet monthly.
7. OSI/OFW host monthly workshops relevant to the program learning outcomes. These
workshops are facilitated by faculty and staff members across campus.
8. There is an end-of-the-year closing event.
Heres what we discovered during the 2015-2016 program year: theres not a lot of
oversight or support for the mentorship matches; the programs were very poorly attended;
the program could have done better to represent participants identities and lived
experiences.
So, we proposed a program revamp for 2016-2017 that would place a greater emphasis on
the mentor/mentee relationship by creating space for more organic relationships to develop,
providing better training to mentors, creating structure for the mentorship relationship, and
de-emphasizing the monthly workshops.
Given the timeline for my departure, Kathy Grove has decided to move forward with the
original program model for 2016-2017, but I have included the proposed revamp in this guide
in the event that the next Coordinator for Leadership would like to use elements of it in the
future. There are several components of the revamp that could easily be included for the
upcoming academic year, including the Conversation Guides and the newsletter.
AWMP Re-design
Matching Process
The new matching process will create space for mentorship relationships to manifest more
organically than in previous program years.
1. mentor recruitment
a. meet with key constituents to discuss program changes
b. invite interested mentors to submit bios/photos
2. mentee recruitment
a. invite interested mentees to a matching fair
b. interested mentees will submit an interest form online
c. ask mentees to review bios before the matching fair
3. matching fair
a. mentees will have two hours to connect with as many mentors as possible
b. mentees/mentors will submit their top five choices for matching
4. waiting list
a. any individuals not paired and/or unavailable for the matching fair will be put
on a wait list and given the option to be matched from that list (the old
fashioned way)
Mentor/Mentee Structure
Monthly Newsletter
Each month, all AWMP participants will receive a newsletter that includes the following:
Instead of offering monthly programs, we are going to ask mentor and mentee matches to
attend one event/program/opportunity per semester on campus or in the community
relevant to the program theme. Programs for the fall semester can be selected from the
upcoming events listed on the monthly newsletter. We strongly encourage mentor and
mentee pairs to attend at least one Womens History Month program offering for the spring
semester.
Program Framework
October: Kick-off
Community Leaders of Tomorrow
CLT is a first-year Residence Based Learning Community located in Ball Hall that is centered
on leadership and civic engagement. 2016-2017 will be CLTs third year in operation. By and
large, CLT has lacked the support it has needed to function like a traditional living learning
community, but students have still enjoyed their experiences.
Some quick history: CLT started as a partnership between the Associate Director for OSI and
the Assistant Director for Community Service and Civic Engagement. When the Associate
Director vacated their position, CLT got kind of lost in the shuffle. So when OSI reorganized
to hire two staff members for Leadership, CLT shifted to be a joint effort between Leadership
and CSCE.
Heres what we learned during the 2015-2016 program year: students took advantage of
the community building aspects more than the educational curriculum and service
opportunities & we were likely to have a small but dedicated group of CLT participants in spite
of the number who signed contracts for CLT.
Mid-year, the issue of capacity was also put on the table. Through a series of conversations,
we decided that CLT would shift entirely to Leadership Development for the 2016-2017
academic year.
Much like AWMP, CLT has a proposed re-design in place. Unfortunately, there is a very small
number of students officially confirmed for CLT. In recent conversations with our partners in
HRL, we discussed a Plan B to realize CLT for the upcoming academic year. That plan
involves:
Outreach to Ball Hall students on the back-end (reaching out to everyone who
identified CLT as an interest in August and re-inviting them to join the RBLC
Recruitment/tabling in Ball Hall during the first week of classes)
Pushing back the retreat or doing away with it entirely and highlighting the First Friday
event in September as open to everyone as a showcase of sorts to CLT and see who
we can get on board from there
Starting to think about how to adjust CLT [name, marketing, etc.] for next year so folks
have a clearer sense of what it is and a motivation to join community when contract
time comes
Adjusting the curriculum and expectations, likely to just focus on the monthly events
(so simply promoting the other aspects but not requiring them)
In the pages that follow, you will find the proposed revamp for CLT. Components of this might
stick and/or feel relevant, but ultimately there are a lot of different directions that CLT could
take for the 2016-2017 academic year. Allison Wheeler has offered to provide all of the
support necessary to keep CLT aliveincluding budget support, staffing, etc. We have strong
partners in Housing, and it is important to note that CLT is the only divisional RBLC; a
leadership and/or service focused RBLC will likely always exist, and I have advocated fiercely
for that line to Housing to stay within our office.
CLT Re-design
Requirements
These are opportunities and programs hosted on campus (or in the community) that focus
on at least one of the following topics: community service, civic engagement, identity,
leadership development, or social justice (i.e. MLK Day of Service, Cultural Leadership
Reflections, Tunnel of Oppression, etc.).

Program Set-up
CLRs are informal gatherings and their set-up will depend on each individual speaker. Each
CLR guest will be invited to share their story, promote their programs, and engage in
meaningful dialogue with students, faculty, and staff about their experiences navigating
leadership roles in Indianapolis in any format they see fit.
Each program will be hosted in the Cultural Lounge in the Multicultural Center. Light snacks
and refreshments will be provided.
Marketing and promotion will be a joint effort between Leadership Development and the
Multicultural Center. Leadership will be responsible for individual flyers/promotional items
for each speaker. The schedule on the next page also identifies potential partners for each
speaker; we can either (1) see if these partners are interested in sponsoring and/or
promoting the event (sponsoring = putting their logo on the promotional items) and/or (2)
do targeted outreach to the students, faculty, and staff in each of these
schools/organizations/communities.
Assessment
We will do JagTag swipes to track program attendance and distribute surveys after each
event. Those surveys will ask attendees the following questions:
September Tamika Catchings Olympic Gold Medalist and WNBA All-Star Tamika Catchings created
the Catch the Stars Foundation, which empowers youth to achieve their

assisting under-served and low to moderate income communities
throughout our city.

February Kyle Long A Cultural Manifesto, with local DJ and "NUVO" columnist Kyle Long,
explores the merging of a wide spectrum of global music with the more
familiar American styles of music, such as soul, hip-hop and jazz. In
each episode listeners can expect to hear intriguing new sounds and
styles of music from all sorts of international traditions. Longs goal
with his program is more than entertainment. I really want to use
music as a bridge to create cultural understanding, he says.

Education
March Derrin Slack Since its inception in 2011, Pro(ACT) has involved over 1,200 boys and
girls in community service and those youth have accumulated over
5,000 hours of service to Indianapolis. With the help of strong
community partnerships, we have seen many students lives change
through our service-learning programs. Through experiential learning,
we intend to help many more students learn to feel comfortable with
their shortcomings and low-esteem so that they may fortify their
communities.

Freedom Rides
Background
For four years, IUPUIs Freedom Rides program took students from Indianapolis, Indiana to
Memphis, Tennessee to explore historical forms of leadership within the Civil Rights
movement in the South. In year five, the program was reimagined to better represent
racism and racial justice as they exist in the lives of students at a Midwestern urban
institution, connect students to campus and community partners in nearby cities, and
explore the thread of racial justice activism from the Civil Rights movement to today.
Timeline
Checklist
Below you will find last years master tasklist for Freedom Rides and the approximate
deadlines for completion. Some of the deadlines will have to be shifted based on any
changes made to the trip and/or trip timeline, but this checklist should serve as a general
guide to what needs to be completed in order to run a successful trip.

Leadership Consultants
The LCs are a high-functioning student organization. The organizational structure of the
LCs differs from the scholar models in OSI and the Multicultural Center. Looking at SAPB
(Student Activities Programming Board) is the best way to understand how the LCs were
envisioned and currently operate. Both organizations have what can best be understood as
a dotted line to the Division of Student Affairs due to the fact that the division provides
them with a larger operating budget, physical office space, and staff support. In return, both
student organizations implement high-profile campus-wide programs that represent this
divison.
With that being said, Leadership Development advises the LCsin the past, we provide
support, advising, and presence, but we do not run the student organization or their
programs.
Going into the 2016-2017 academic year, the GA for Leadership Development will serve as
the primary advisor for the LCs, while the Coordinator for Leadership Development will
provide additional support to the Executive Board.
With the exception of the Student Leadership Reception, the LCs operate the bulk of their
programming independently. Moving forward, the Coordinator and GA will have to
determine what oversight and support of Leadership To-Gos, the Mentorship Program,
Project Leadership, and SOLD Sessions might look like. The one program that the
Coordinator will actively support will be Student Leadership Receptionas this program
has historically been coordinated out of the Office of Student Involvement.
We made several changes to this program for the 2015-2016 academic year. First and
foremost, we set out to give the students more ownership of this program. Additionally,
when Fraternity and Sorority Life separated off to host their own reception, we took
advantage of the opportunity to partner with the Multicultural Center. Lastly, we
encouraged each partner to limit their offerings to five awards.
The biggest hurdles we faced with this program were distinguishing its identity from the
Top 100 reception and streamlining the award nomination processes for each of the
partners. These will be ongoing challenges moving forward.
Moving forward, 1-2 student representatives from the Leadership Consultants will organize
the event logistics, while each of the partners (OSI, the Multicultural Center, USG, GPSG, &
Student Activities) manage their own award processes. With the addition of Student
Activities to the mixOSI will have to decide if it wants to continue offering awards at this
event or simply act as the events sponsor since its current award offerings are student
organization-focused.
This is not, by any means, and exhaustive checklist for the Student Leadership Reception.
Undoubtedly, components of this will change when Student Activities is added to the list of
partners and the Leadership Consultants continue to take on more ownership of the event.

Womens Leadership Reception
Each year, the Office of Student Involvement and the Office for Women partner to recognize
outstanding women leaders across campus. Traditionally, OSI handles all student awards
while OFW manages the faculty/staff award processes. Below, you will see how
duties/costs have been historically split between our two areas. You can find the event
descriptions here:
http://studentaffairs.iupui.edu/involved/leadership-programs/student-
recognition/women-awards/index.shtml
http://ofw.iupui.edu/Awards/Annual-Womens-Leadership-Awards
The award nomination processes differ between OSI and OFW. You can visit the OFW
website to learn more about the faculty/staff nomination process. In previous years,
student nominees were required to submit an essay to be considered for recognition at the
Womens Leadership Reception. In 2016, we changed the student nomination process in
order to relieve the burden of being nominated from the nominee. Currently, any faculty,
staff, or student can submit a nomination; once we receive the nomination, we reach out to
the nominees and request a copy of their resume. The thinking behind this change was that
resume-building/updating is an important professional development opportunity for
student nominees without over-tasking them; additionally, a resume can give us a fuller
picture of students involvement across campus beyond what is included in their
nominations.
Even though the OSI and OFW nomination processes are done independently, try to match
up your timelines as best as possible. You will need to provide a week between the closing of
nominations and the deadline for resume submissions; this may impact the congruence of
the nomination timelines. For example, in 2016, the student award nominations closed on
2/26/16 so that resumes could be submitted until 3/4/16, but faculty/staff nominations
did not close until 3/4/16; this resulted in a few stragglers looking to submit student
nominations past the deadline. I allowed them to do so only if they could confirm that
students would be able to turn around their resumes in time for distribution to the
committee.
The Womens Leadership Reception always occurs during Womens History Month (March)
and adheres to the national theme set by the National Womens History Project
(http://www.nwhp.org/). Currently, the Assistant Director of the Multicultural Center
purchases the Womens History Month package that includes the logo we use for marketing
purposes. In addition to the marketing materials, the logo and theme are included in the
program and often a central theme of the speakers addresses; we also include the theme
on the physical awards that we order.
Currently, we present five Outstanding Woman Student Leader Awards. The award
recipients receive a physical award and a $50 deposit to their bursar accounts that the
Business Manager can submit the day of the Reception. The deposits appear overnight, so
make sure not to deposit them before the day of the event! In the future, we would like to
create different award categories to recognize the different facets of leadership across
campus as it has proved to be a challenge to compare and measure students incredibly
diverse experiences (for example, how does a PhD student with a wealth of conference and
publishing experience compare to an undergraduate student leader who is on the executive
board of several student organizations?). The current rubric (located in the G: drive) does a
good job of recognizing diverse leadership experiences across campus, but there is always
room for growth! Emily Werner (Health and Wellness Promotion) has expressed an interest
in partnering to conceive of these new award offerings.
Touch base with the Director of the Office for Women often throughout the planning
process for the event!
