Leadership Development

The primary goal of the Leadership Programs is to engage students in a variety of learning opportunities that expand their knowledge and increase their abilities in leadership and service. With a co-curricular, diverse and servant based leadership model as our central focus, students acquire and develop leadership skills based in the Vincentian tradition of leadership.
