The Student Leadership, Involvement & Community Engagement (SLICE) program develops leadership potential and self-efficacy in all students, preparing today’s students to lead and serve in tomorrow’s global communities.
The mission of SLICE is to foster learning and personal development through exploring leadership trends and civic engagement. SLICE provides all UHCL students opportunities to develop and enhance a personal philosophy of leadership that includes comprehension of leadership theory and application, and a holistic understanding of self, others, organizations, and community. SLICE also serves as a clearinghouse for UHCL students to engage in community service, volunteering, and service-learning to enhance their academic experience.
SLICE also embraces the diverse experiences and backgrounds of the student body, and provides leadership training for students at all levels of leadership competency and experience, creating opportunities to practice both on campus and within their communities
Theoretical Foundations
SLICE’s programs are grounded in leadership theory to assist in blurring the lines between formal learning and practical experiences. These include: Servant Leadership: (Greenleaf, 1971), Relational Leadership: (Komives, Lucas & McMahon, 1998) , and The Social Change Model: The Social Change Model (Eisenhower/UCLA ensemble, Higher Education Research Institute, 1996).
