Involvement helps
students’ success
By Nicole Hall
Staff writer ■'
Get involved: A statement that has
already been rung through the ears of
all incoming students.
“We know that the more students
are involved in college, the more they
gain from the college,” said Vincent
Tinto of the National Center on post
secondary teaching, learning and
assessment at Syracuse University.
There is also a much higher reten
tion rate by students involved in student
organizations, as well as those students
who work on campus, take part in cam
pus cultural events and student study
groups, said Thomas Dake, assistant
director of student involvement at
UNL. More students who involve
themselves on campus are likely to
graduate, Dake said.
The University of Nebraska
Lincoln has 350 ASUN-approved stu
dent organizations. With this many to
chose from, many new students may
become overwhelmed. Student
Involvement has created a collection of
questions to help students realize their
strengths and farther assets as to what
kinds of student organizations may be
right for diem.
Called the Assessment of Skills,
Activities and Participation, the test has
14 categories of involvement, each cat
egory creating a spoke on a wheel. The
higher one scores on die assessment,
the stronger they are on that spoke.
“The wheel is a play off of the well
rounded person,” said Dake.
After the ASAP a student who is
unsure of what organizations they
would fit into can pick up an
Involvement Guide, Studetjt"
Involvement Guides are expected to be
ready after Big Red Welcome, and stu
dents look through the categories and
mission statements of the organiza
tions where they want to involve them
selves.
“Put off joining right away,” Dake
said.
He suggests sampling a variety of
organizations until the student feels a
good fit with their goals and the mis
sion of the organization.
“If you wait, you will still be
taken,” Dake said. \
The motives of some UNL students
for involvement is to be acknowledged.
Student Affairs has created an annual
award for students who involve them
selves in developing their personal
skills, career plans, intellectual devel
opment, civic responsibility and diver
sity.
Many believe student leadership is
a skill that is developed through experi
ence. ASUN has designed a freshman
program to teach freshman how to
become leaders as they work their way
into camp.
Student Impact, previously called
Freshman Action, will start in the fall.
The program will have panels of stu
dents leaders offering advice and tak
ing questions, how to plan events and
set up fund-raisers.
ASUN will also have the names of
about 30 campus committees and
ASUN subcommittees that are in need
of student representatives.
Applications will be available by
the second or third week in September
for the committees.
“Search opportunities out,” Andy
Schuerman, President of ASUN said.
