Recommended Reading
I started out years ago with a list of recommended books that I would give my students when I assigned a leadership book review assignment. Then other people started recommending books to me, and the list just kept growing. Rather than just give you a list of titles, I went ahead and connected to the Amazon descriptions of them, so you can order straight from here if you are so inclined.

Here are ten books I consider to be essentials for anyone who works with student leaders.
Need Help Teaching Project Planning?
Adviser Essentials: Project Planning by Lyn Fiscus offers guidance for both novice and veteran advisers on how to help student leaders work through some of the usual tasks that are common to all projects and encourage them to consider aspects they might not think of on their own. By making the use of the information and forms in this resource part of your project planning routine, student leaders will begin to develop their own expertise at project planning.
