Going The Distance: Examining The Impact Of A Long-Term International Fellowship, Meikah Dado, Jessica R. Spence, Jack Elliot
Journal of International Agricultural and Extension Education
AgriCorps, an American organization, created a fellowship program to connect agricultural professionals to school-based agricultural education in developing countries.

Donor relations, building a relationship with Institutional Advancement, and developing a department-based advisory board …

Leadership Education And Development For Justice Using The Canonical Framework Of John Rawls's A Theory Of Justice, Brandon W. Kliewer, Jeff Zacharakis
Educational Considerations
Higher education that presupposes a specific conception of justice do well in preparing students to make claims of justice from specific perspectives or positions. However, civic leadership students with a strong background in specific conceptions of justice are often not equipped with necessary skills, dispositions, and habits to exercise leadership in ways that can manage political contestation associated with competing claims of justice.

The Role Of High School Experience In College Student Leadership Development, Susan R. Komives, Matthew Johnson
Educational Considerations
Colleges and universities have long claimed student leadership development to be a desirable college outcome.
