The Leadership Institute

"Welcome to our web page! Founded in 2010, the Leadership Institute at Mount St. Mary’s University seeks to prepare students to understand and seek to resolve the problems facing humanity. The Institute sponsors educational programs, scholarly research, and experiential programs designed to connect theoretical learning about leadership to engagement with the world. Consistent with the mission of the University, the Institute seeks to develop leadership knowledge and skills in all students to empower them to lead creative and generous lives with intelligence and compassion.

Perhaps most importantly, our leadership program will place a premium on the cultivation of moral personal character in each of our students. The overall goal of the Leadership Institute is to cultivate a renewed, healthier, and more vigorous sense of citizenship among our students—a vision in perfect harmony with the foundation upon which Mount St. Mary’s University has been built."

Please visit the Institute at Bradley 311!

The Leadership Institute prepares students to understand and seek to resolve the problems facing humanity. The Institute sponsors educational programs, scholarly research, and experiential programs designed to connect theoretical learning about leadership to engagement with the world.  Consistent with the mission of the University, the Institute seeks to develop leadership knowledge and skills in all students to empower them to lead creative and generous lives with intelligence and compassion.

The Leadership Institute will be dedicated to preparing young women and men "to see and seek to resolve the problems facing humanity." This is a new campus-wide initiative for the Mount. Over the years many successful leadership programs have been developed here; this new Institute initiative will seek to maintain an inventory of those existing programs as well as develop new ones. We hope to start in the classroom, with interdisciplinary and cross-cultural courses on the theories and concepts of leadership, and then to extend the learning about leadership to a variety of co-curricular and ‘hands-on’ experimental learning projects.
