Fostering the imagination, capacity, and courage to lead in extraordinary times. Our Vision

Our vision is to connect scholarship with practice to change the world, one leader at a time. The School of Leadership Studies has four pillars that guide our work:

Leadership as Engagement: Enabling the talents, skills, and aspirations of all members in alignment with an organization’s purpose. Engaged Scholarship: Connecting knowledge and practice through partnerships between scholars and practitioners that generate new perspectives and solutions for social benefit. Orientation To Possibility: Attention toward the desirable future and its possibilities as well as its challenges. Learning as Transformation: Evolves from journeying in unknown territory and the eventual emergence of a completely new perspective and understanding.
