Monday, April 20, 2015
MANHATTAN — The Staley School of Leadership Studies at Kansas State University has selected its inaugural class for its newest leadership development program, the Snyder Leadership Legacy Fellows.
The Staley School, in partnership with K-State Athletics, is offering the program to facilitate leadership development for students based on head football coach Bill Snyder's 16 Goals for Success. These goals have been embraced by many as guiding principles for success in life, family, community and career. Students were selected for the program based on their demonstrated leadership skills and potential.
Snyder has been a strong supporter of the Staley School of Leadership Studies and is a founding member of the school's Advancement Council.
Snyder Fellows will engage in a variety of leadership development workshops, activities and events during the 2015-2016 academic year. The program will honor Snyder and his dedication to Kansas State University, the Staley School of Leadership Studies, his players and the university's students by continuing his work in developing effective leaders on campus, in their communities, in their states and beyond.
