Abstract
-
In this action research project, the question of how to minimize
burnout as a student leader will be explored. Burnout is almost a right of
passage for many student leaders in this day and age. With some wearing
their burnout status as a badge of honor showing how dedicated they are to
their work. However, burnout is not something to be proud of. When
burnout is left unchecked it can create many unhealthy coping mechanisms
for students that lead to many different unhealthy behaviors that end up
being very hard to unlearn as adults in the workforce. This thesis plans on
defining burnout and how it affects student leaders, then moves on to
create a list of approximately 10 ‘tips and tricks’ to help minimize and cope
with burnout. I will also explore how the institutions themselves contribute
to burnout in their student leaders and what they can do in order to
minimize burnout. All from the perspective of a current college
undergraduate student who has experienced burnout.
