Framework for Leader Development and Organization Success
The Framework for Leader Development and Organization Success was developed by the Office of Student Leadership Development to provide a way to look at leadership and engagement on campus. This framework is comprised of two broad objectives: Leader Development and Organization Success. Within each objective, we have identified elements that contribute to an individual or organization's progress towards the objective, ultimately leading to Positive Change. The Office of Student Leadership Development is committed to identifying and providing opportunities for students and organizations to engage in experiences and activities that enhance their capacity within these various elements.
