(Crookston, Minn.)- Natasha Kuhle, Assistant Athletic Director and Senior Woman Administrator at the University of Minnesota, Crookston, has been selected to take part in the inaugural NCAA Student-Athlete Leadership Forum. Only 30 college athletic professionals from Division I, II, III were chosen to serve as facilitators for the leadership forum. The Leadership Forum will take place October 21-24, 2010 at the Disney Contemporary Hotel in Orlando, Florida.

The inaugural 2010 NCAA Student-Athlete Leadership Forum (Leadership Forum) is a four day event that will engage a diverse and dynamic representation of student-athletes, coaches, faculty and administrators and provide pertinent and customized sessions that will enhance personal awareness and leadership skills needed to impact student-athlete development at the campus and conference level, and beyond the collegiate realm. As a facilitator, Kuhle will be responsible for leading color team sessions that cover Six Domains of Leadership®, Values, DiSC® Behavioral Assessment, Personal Branding, Authentic Leadership, Servant Leadership, Service, and Emotional Intelligence. She will also mentor participants, and provide student-athletes, coaches and administrators with an energetic and engaging learning environment.

As a result of attending the Leadership Forum, participants will be given the opportunity to improve communication among student-athletes, coaches and administrators, gain ideas on how to improve campus, conference and national SAAC communication, and share these ideas with their campus or conference, and improve student-athlete well-being by engaging in the examination of critical divisional issues.
