PROGRAM SPECIFICS

Friday evening's session provides an overview of the American Legion Auxiliary, affiliated organizations, and current programs. Expectations and goals for the weekend are presented.

On Saturday, students attend eight 45-minute sessions. These sessions may include subjects such as Unit operations, meetings, Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation (VA&R), National Security, Children & Youth, Americanism, Empire Girls State, Public Relations and Community Service. Leadership training is incorporated throughout the curriculum.

Students are divided into work groups, with a mix in each group of experienced and newer members from diverse areas and Units. Each workgroup is given a case study, outlining an issue which might arise in a typical Unit or County. Throughout the weekend of the College, students collaborate to recommend resolution of each identified issue.

At Sunday morning's session, the workgroups report on their case studies, findings, and recommendations. The College Action Team members address any open issues. The weekend comes to a close with graduation ceremonies.

The mission of the College is to give members a basic understanding of the fundamentals of the American Legion Auxiliary through training, encouragement, and support. The College Action Team, a core group which coordinates the program, consists of five members:


Dean – Linda Tome
Associate Dean – Betty Conger
Curriculum Coordinator – Lucille Mozzillo
Registrar – Shelby Sobolowski
Member at Large – Nancy Leonard

For the College Action Team's  physical address,  contact one of the members or the   Department Office
