Funded initially by a W.K. Kellogg Foundation grant, the program was designed to provide a way for students to learn leadership theory, skills and apply that learning through involvement in service and organizations. This learning takes place by participating in a broad range of activities offered through the Leadership program over a student's four years at Asbury.
Students can participate in events that count toward completing each of three levels of the program.
A recognition reception is held annually for students who have completed one of the levels of the program. Each student on campus has the opportunity to have a co-curricular transcript kept on a database in the Office of Student Leadership Development. Over 15 faculty, staff and students facilitate workshops ranging from Models of leadership to how to plan activities. These events are open to anyone and registration for these events is through the office of Leadership Development. Special luncheons and other events are also scheduled throughout the year.
