学生共同领导计划
Interested in guiding discussion and co-leading a Seminar course inside and outside the classroom?
研讨会共同主持人计划
The 研讨会共同主持人计划 gives outstanding students the chance to co-lead a Seminar course alongside an experienced faculty mentor. Student co-leaders receive hands-on leadership experience in the classroom, while engaging more deeply with the Seminar curriculum.

- Cultivate a professional relationship with a supportive faculty mentor.
- Find your voice and relate to your peers in a new leadership role in the classroom.

Student Co-Leaders attend one or two training workshops and receive a total of 1学分 对于他们的工作:
- 跟上阅读进度.
- 参加课程,
- Meeting with a faculty mentor outside of class on a regular basis.
- Possibly holding office hours with students outside of class on a limited basis.

找一位导师
The program matches selected students to Seminar faculty members who mentor and support them as they learn and grow as Seminar leaders. Selected co-leaders help to facilitate discussion in a Seminar course they have already taken.

Our highest priority is to ensure mutually rewarding relationships between student co-leaders and faculty mentors. The matching process takes into consideration the number of available spots and scheduling issues. The most important consideration is compatibility.
以便于匹配过程, interested students apply to be a co-leader in the semester before they wish to take the course.
申请流程如下:
Each semester (around midterms) Seminar faculty are invited to nominate students whom they believe are qualified for the Co-Leader Program. Experienced student co-leaders may also nominate students. Students may nominate themselves by writing to the program coordinator.
Students who decide they would like to be co-leaders submit an online application to the coordinator by the due date specified on the application link (typically during the 9th or 10th week of classes). The application is a 1-page (300 word) essay answering the following prompt:
“What do you think should be the role of a student co-leader in Seminar? 举例说明你的答案, 根据你自己的经验, of something that went well or that went poorly in a Seminar class.”
申请还应该包括你的名字, 主修及/或副修, 我在圣玛丽学校读了一年, and a list of previously completed Seminar courses along with your professors’ names. Lastly, please indicate the Seminar(s) you would like to co-lead.
An important note to keep in mind is that Seminar 150 is only taught in the spring semester (Seminar 250, 仅下降), so students who have only taken Seminar 150 will be able to serve as a co-leader for the following spring semester. We want to ensure students feel confident with the Seminar reading list and be familiar with the Seminar authors in order to best support and co-facilitate shared inquiry in the Seminar classroom.
Students will be notified of the status of their applications in 两到三周.
The program is open to motivated undergraduates who have excelled in their previous Seminar course(s). 特别是, we seek students who can take responsibility for class discussions, and can help their peers learn from the texts and from each other.
2015年春季开始, the program has attracted students from many backgrounds and majors, with a wide range of personal interests and professional goals. 这些包括:
- 对教育事业感兴趣的学生
- 对商业事业感兴趣的学生
- Students interested in applying to graduate and professional schools
Past student co-leaders have included majors in Archeology, 生物学, 英语, 心理学, 业务, 物理, 数学, 哲学, 环境与地球科学.
The program is ideal for students who have had a particularly transformative experience in Seminar, and who want to share that kind of experience with others.

前联合领导人的几句话
I enjoy helping the Seminar Program because it is my belief that [student] co-leaders are the reason why so many discussions go so incredibly well. It is our job to help students thrive in Seminar, 不仅仅是通过讨论, but also through finding deeper meanings in the text. We get to watch them find things in the text that we’ve never even thought of, and it is one of the most rewarding experiences seeing a student who hasn’t talked much most of the semester make an amazing comment that is received well by their fellow classmates. The validation in their face is enough to make the harder parts of co-leading worthwhile.
