“…A review of the literature revealed relatively few programs focused on creating opportunities for developing leadership goals, outcomes, and purposes for African American and Latinx students in urban schools. Much of the research conducted in this area is related to recess or physical activity leadership based programs (Martin & Chen, 2017; Massey et al, 2018); Another study identifies support for students from foster care (Lenz-Rashid, 2018); Other researchers have focused on developing urban leadership through agricultural programs (Lewis, 2012; Mouser et al, 2019); and several studies were found which focus on developing social skills to prevent violent behavior (Volosin et al, 2012). Unfortunately, many of these initiatives approach students of color from a deficit based lens.…”

The purpose of this study was to identify the strengths and challenges that emerged from the first 3 years of a high school student leadership development program located in an urban setting. This study was developed as an instrumental case study of one student leadership development program serving urban public high schools in South Central Texas. Feedback was solicited from 10 current and former participants regarding the successes and challenges they encountered within this program. Three themes emerged from these interviews: personal voice, a sense of responsibility, and building community relationships. Discussion is included regarding considerations for secondary administrators about the potential utility of this model in helping develop student leaders of color in urban settings.

“…It is important to determine the use value and its role in campus design to improve the quality of spaces. These open spaces act in different ways relative to different criteria, as shown in Figure 3 (Yıldız & Sener, 2006;Özkan et al, 2017;Lenz-Rashid, 2018).…”

“…One example of this occurred on the Prince William County, Virginia campus when it involved the local community in its development plans (Sasaki Associates and MMM Design Group, 2002). In 2003, there were 7,761 registered students, according to the Statistics and Quality Center, and the number of students in TU in 2018reached 41,776 (Taibah University, 2020. The university initiated a call to redesign the campus as a step to humanize its open spaces and develop green areas by redesigning the main administration circular building and connecting it with proposed pedestrian paths connecting all the university buildings.…”

Open spaces on university campuses create an active academic environment and a vibrant, active social life. This paper aims to answer the question, "Under which conditions does a university campus change from subduing students' social life to enhancing it?" By studying the Taibah University (TU) campus in Madinah, Saudi Arabia, this research provides an initial step to enhance walkability and pedestrian movement for users. The study consists of main parts: theoretical background and literature review to reach design guidelines, site analysis and survey followed by discussion of results, and a final urban proposal for humanizing the campus along with the recommendation to use the campus as a catalyst to humanise Madinah. Analysing TU will be completed through a site visit and picture documentation. The research has also engaged the students' opinions through survey assessment of the campus. The survey study was done in fall 2019 through students' participation in the graduation project in the Architecture Engineering Department at Taibah University to study the urban context of the campus and propose new uses for buildings. The finding of this paper will propose important steps to increase campus walkability; social sustainability and stress on the main future studies to strengthen the research results.
