A tradition over 30 years strong

Leadership LSU is not just a program; it’s a legacy. For 34 years, Leadership LSU has developed individuals committed to honing their leadership skills and making a lasting impact at LSU and beyond. 

The purpose of Leadership LSU is to bolster the leadership skills of LSU’s top leaders by emphasizing authenticity, adaptability, and introspection as essential components of their leadership development. This transformative 10-week leadership seminar delves deep into the intricate relationship between authenticity and servant leadership. Our overarching objective is to empower student leaders to become actively engaged, integrity-driven, and purposeful contributors to both the LSU community and society at large. Through a dynamic blend of theory and hands-on experience, students will acquire the knowledge and practical skills needed to seamlessly integrate intuitive and rational approaches into their leadership styles.

  • Exclusive Cohort: You’ll be part of a handpicked group of 18 diverse individuals, creating a supportive and dynamic network of like-minded peers.  
  • Practical Learning: You won’t just learn theories; you’ll put them into practice through real-world projects and case studies.
