SALAD was just what the doctor ordered. The workshop was very effective in revealing many of the stereotypes and preconceptions that existed on our campus—(it) led to dialogues that began bridging many of the gaps on our campus.

Bringing student leaders together for a day of community building.
Get them all in one room and our facilitators will get the valuable discussions going! SALAD gives everyone a chance to acknowledge and conquer preconceived notions, identify common areas of concern, build connections and seek opportunities for collaboration. Once the baggage is out in the open, the focus turns to “the big picture” as the student leaders talk about their common goals and the benefits of working together to improve the campus environment.
In one day, CAMPUSPEAK can get your student leaders communicating and cooperating. It’s the perfect way to start your academic year, or a great way to bond newly elected leaders mid-year. The workshop is completely interactive—students do most of the talking, sharing and idea generation.
If you’re looking to breathe new life into your student organization’s president retreat. leadership day or your fraternity/sorority, SALAD is the answer. Since 2001, campuses around the nation have successfully hosted the SALAD workshop and have seen amazing improvements in the relationships between student leaders.
There are two different versions of the SALAD workshop:
SALAD for Student Leaders
SALAD for Fraternities and Sororities
Both versions can be held on an evening or weekend, and as part of a larger retreat or as a stand-alone workshop. SALAD can help build unity among students and make aware issues that need to be tackled. Best of all, the day does not end with a group hug but with the development of an action plan for tackling the issues raised throughout the day.
