The mission of Leadership Development is to supplement our St.
John’s University mission by educating and providing programs that
assist and enhance students in their personal growth,
decision-making, and leadership advancement and training.
Developing leadership skills is an important part of the overall
college experience and can lead individuals to personal and
academic success.
The Leadership Development area provides tri-campus leadership
training through a four-tier certificate program, facilitates and
creates customized workshops, and student organizational
training. We facilitate development in the Vincentian
tradition by providing a variety of opportunities for students to
facilitate and participate in our certificate and non-certificate
Leadership programs.
Leadership, Education And
Development
Leadership, Education And Development (L.E.A.D) is a non-credit
program of individual and group training, workshops and overnight
conferences dedicated to helping St. John’s University students
interested in developing and enhancing their leadership skills.
Sponsored by the Department of Student Life, L.E.A.D complements
students’ education by teaching them skills and providing them with
the tools necessary for effective leadership. Through their
involvement in L.E.A.D., they will begin to hone their knowledge
and understanding of time management, decision-making, proper
planning, critical thinking, oral presentation and much more.
Whether students participate in the certificate program or
non-certificate program, they will acquire the skills and training
needed for success beyond St. John’s University. As an active
student participant in the program, students will:
- Acquire the building blocks for effective leadership
- Learn to take an active leadership role on campus and in the
community
- Understand how to have meaningful interactions with a diverse
group of people
- Learn techniques to communicate effectively
- Enhance important life skills
- Supplement in-class education with out-of-class
experiences
- Network with current students, faculty, administrators and
staff at the University
- Become an advocate for positive change
I ask that you encourage your son or daughter to get involved in
the L.E.A.D. Student Leadership Program. He or she can
register for the program by emailing LEAD@stjohns.edu or stopping by
the Leadership Development office located on the Queens Campus in
the University Center Commons, Room 49. If you have any
