MANHATTAN — The Staley School of Leadership Studies at Kansas State University has selected the fifth class of Snyder Leadership Legacy Fellows.
"Coach Bill Snyder is known as a developer of leaders whose legacy continues to have a tremendous impact that extends far beyond the game of football," said Marcia Hornung, director of the Snyder Leadership Legacy Fellows Program and instructor of leadership studies.

The Staley School, in partnership with K-State Athletics, is honored to offer a program to facilitate leadership development for students based on Coach Snyder's goals for success. Students were selected for the program based on their demonstrated leadership skills and potential."
