Leadership Fellows

Leadership Fellows is an innovative academic program aimed at selecting and developing leadership talent for business. The program is based on the philosophy that quality leadership development comes from a combination of three core elements: (1) sound leadership theories operating as guiding principles, (2) quality leadership experiences and practices, and (3) quality feedback based on scientific assessment tools. Students should have concrete organizational and leadership experiences by actively participating in activities in school, community, or business-related organizations, ideally taking on leadership positions by their second year in the program. In this two year program students will participate in an assessment with mentoring and feedback from faculty and student mentors, and develop a Leadership Development Plan as part of an action-learning practicum.
