Last week, the first-year cohort began wrapping up their courses as they move into finals week. For one of their final projects in HESA 522, instructed by Dr. Hutchings, they were assigned to create a "Cajita," or box, that represented their student development philosophy. Our Huskies did an incredible job thinking outside the box, connecting their artifacts to Student Development Theory, and showcasing their creativity. Scroll through to see some of the Cajitas. They had a wonderful gallery walk followed by an end-of-semester potluck.

Congratulations to our very own Gudrun Nyunt on her recent publication with Denny Roberts! Their chapters highlights how leadership educators can enhance students' leadership learning by incorporating international perspectives.
Gudrun Nyunt and I contributed an article to Kroll, Manning-Ouellette, & Beatty's Facilitating Leadership Development in Training Contexts titled "Incorporating an international perspective in leadership training." For leadership educators to be more effective, we advocate heeding the voices of international students and colleagues, examining the legacy of colonialism, and engaging as humble and curious learners. The article offers insights on how leadership educators can enhance all students' leadership learning by adopting an internationalist perspective, challenging the canon, and paying greater attention to the processes of learning.
