Student Leadership and Development
Student Leadership and Development
The Center for Multicultural Affairs and Inclusive Education plays a pivotal role in supporting student success by offering personalized, need-based one-on-one services. These services are designed to address the unique challenges students face, providing tailored guidance and resources that foster retention and persistence.
By focusing on individualized support, the Center ensures that each student feels empowered and equipped to navigate their academic journey. This approach not only enhances students’ sense of belonging but also strengthens their overall academic and personal growth, helping them to overcome obstacles and stay on the path toward success.
Student leadership and development are at the heart of a meaningful college experience, shaping students into thoughtful, engaged individuals. Through leadership opportunities, students have the chance to nurture:
- Critical thinking skills
- Emotional intelligence
- Cultural competency and humility
- Advocacy
- Their voice and identity
The Center for Multicultural Affairs and Inclusive Education has an array of opportunities and experiences to help nurture our students’ leadership skills, voice, and success.
Conferences and Retreats
Students have the opportunity to engage with other student leaders and expand their learning at local conferences and retreats. These experiences not only provide valuable networking opportunities but also contribute to personal development and the cultivation of both hard and soft skills.
By attending these events, students can develop technical expertise and industry-specific knowledge (hard skills), while also enhancing communication, teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving abilities (soft skills). These competencies help students thrive at ESU and beyond, supporting their academic success and professional growth.
For information on upcoming conferences, please reach out for details on future opportunities.
Internship Program
The Center for Multicultural Affairs and Inclusive Education offers an array of internship and practicum experiences. Our undergraduate and graduate experiences are purposed to promote a holistic learning (and unlearning) process while ensuring:
- professional growth

The center is dedicated to our student’s learning and education while here at ESU. We will work with students and their advisors to develop an experience that meets their academic needs and professional growth.
