Abstract
The Latina/a undergraduate student population at Iowa State University increased by 60% between 2008-2012. Latinas/as are now the largest racial/ethnic minoritized student group on campus. During the 2011-2012 academic year, Latina/a student leaders began meeting to discuss ways to promote leadership development within the Latina/a student population, particularly for new students. Based on data from a recent study, this presentation will share insights regarding how Latina/a students at ISU have experienced leadership and how practitioners and administrators can support their leadership development.
