Leadership Programs - Student Life

One of the most important things you can do as a B-W student is get involved on campus. Being involved is one of the best ways to enhance your overall college experience. You are able to meet new people, challenge yourself with new experiences, and develop a variety of skills that can help you succeed both inside and outside the classroom.

Student Leadership Programs at B-W are purposefully designed to help you develop and enhance your leadership skills, such as communication, organizational development, conflict resolution, team building, and more! These skills can not only help you to succeed as a Baldwin-Wallace Student, but also beyond B-W when you graduate.  Be sure to take advantage of our programs offered throughout the year! 

Dance Floor Theory Leadership Training

Just like on a dance floor, every community experiences varying levels of engagement between those fully involved (leaders) and those lurking on the edge (apathetic people). The same tactics to create successful social change on a dance floor (connections, relevancy, models of success, and motivation) also work to increase engagement within any community. DFT provides community leaders a new model for creating community, increasing member engagement, and fostering a culture of retention.

Leaders Striving For Success (LSFS)

A student-run organization, advised by the staff members in the Student Leadership Programs Office. They develop a variety of events for all B-W students.  You can get involved in these programs throughout your time at Baldwin-Wallace College.
