Apart from affording their members a structure for engaging with peers in activities of mutual interest, collegiate organizations provide them with hands-on opportunities for enhancing understanding of groups and organizations, and how they operate, and for acquiring and practicing the leadership, communication and collaborative skills that are so important for personal and professional effectiveness throughout life. The program consists of three elements: a Guide for Students, a Student Workbook, and a CD-ROM for facilitators.AISO has been developed under the auspices of NACA and ACPA by two authors who are experts in organizational and leadership development, student affairs, and human resources management.This is a unique, easy to use, and effective process that reflects input from student leaders.An ACPA/NACA Publication
