Training a New Generation of Leaders

Texas A&M University

This article highlights the Eisenhower Leadership Development Program, an undergraduate course with a two-fold purpose: (1) to develop students' leadership skills and abilities, and (2) to foster in students a desire to use their leadership abilities to address the different problems that communities and society face. To accomplish this the course uses traditional classroom instruction, guest speakers, leadership games and activities, and, most notably, semester-long group projects. Through the group projects students apply the leadership skills they have learned in class to real world situations and become more conscious of the positive contributions they can make as leaders in their communities.
