Hansen, has been developing student leaders at Doane since 1994. Each year, 40 incoming students with a desire to develop their leadership skills are selected to receive a $1,000 scholarship and live in Hansen Leadership Hall. HLP supports students through their leadership identity development while at Doane, with the goal of preparing students to use their leadership skills in their workplace and communities after graduation. Inclusive Scholars is a peer network that provides a multi-year leadership experience to prepare the next generation of difference makers. Over four years, students learn to leverage inclusive excellence to positively impact innovation, equity, and engagement where they live and work. The Inclusive Scholars experience facilitates students' personal and professional success through individual and team community projects, leadership coaching, and skills-based workshops. Students admitted to Inclusive Scholars receive scholarships that renew yearly. Interfaith Scholars will engage with religious, secular and spiritual diversity among themselves and in the community, learning about and advocating for religious pluralism, to prepare to be interfaith leaders in any career field. Co-curricular experiences like interfaith courses and diverse religious site visits will guide students' religious literacy and desire for interfaith cooperation as we seek those common values that help us build towards the common good. A possible upto $1,000 scholarship can be awarded to students who participate in this program. Housing Note Each Society requires accepted students to live in specific residence halls during their first year at Doane. Hansen Leadership Program: Hansen Leadership Hall (suite style housing) Inclusive Scholars: Frees Hall(traditional housing) Interfaith Scholars: Frees Hall (traditional housing) Applicants must fill out regular Doane housing paperwork in case they are not selected for a Society.
