Elevation End of Year Panels

Elevation End of Year Panels

As the culminating experience of the Elevation accreditation program, each chapter must engage in a thirty-minute Elevation end of year panel. This panel allows chapter leadership to demonstrate critical thought articulating the process of goal setting, areas of success, opportunities for growth, and skill development as a result of engagement with the Elevation accreditation program.  Chapter leadership is responsible for leading a conversation with a maximum of two campus partners (faculty and staff), and the chapter’s liaison. Failure to participate in an Elevation panel will prevent the chapter from being accredited.

Elevation Panel Criteria

The campus partners that are present in your Elevation panel will be providing your chapter a score (1-5) in each of the following categories:

  • Chapter’s ability to reflect and articulate on their process for goal setting as part of the Elevation accreditation program.
  • Chapter’s ability to articulate if they achieved their goals connected to organizational values and why or why not.
  • Chapter’s ability to articulate how they will differently engage with the Elevation program in the future.
  • Chapter’s ability to articulate the skills gained or refined by chapter leadership as a result of completing the Elevation program.
  • Chapter’s ability to demonstrate reflection and critical thought throughout the duration of their Elevation panel.

Elevation Panel Structure

At the start of the panel, a chapter liaison will initiate introductions between chapter leadership (i.e. incoming president, vice president, executive board members), and the faculty/staff panelists. From there, it is chapter leadership’s responsibility  to lead conversations about  engagement with the Elevation panel criteria above.



Awards Panels

Award panels are held separately from Elevation panels. Each chapter has the opportunity to participating in an award panel if they would like to be considered for chapter awards announced at the annual FSL Awards Ceremony.
