Abstract

In an attempt to revamp the orientation leader training process, Towson University began using appreciative inquiry (AI) with student leaders to both plan and conduct skilldevelopment workshops. Originally crafted as an organizational development tool, AI served as a powerful way to use the collective wisdom of student leaders and built upon their desires for a more impactful training cycle to create a learning environment that was responsive to new leaders’ needs and provided the skills needed to support new students coming to the university.
