Student testimonials:
The Frances Hesselbein Student Leadership program will make a difference in my S2S program at home and in how I interact with others daily. This helped me focus on becoming a strong individual and helping others around me. I greatly appreciate this opportunity to go to this and be able to make a bigger impact.

Attending the Frances Hesselbein Student Leadership Program made me a better leader, communicator, and person. The skills I acquired are invaluable and applicable not just to being a leader, but dealing with everyday life. I’m extremely grateful to have had this experience, and I’m already applying some of the things I learned from the program. I truly feel like I am a much better leader after attending the FHSLP.

The Frances Hesselbein Student Leadership Program helped me assess my current traits and improve them while also allowing me to obtain new skills. I learned that the greatest leaders are first and foremost human beings, and I feel that I have walked away from this experience with immense growth in my state of mind and understanding. Leadership takes courage, responsibility, an open perspective, and the ability to overcome situations that may not be ideal, but all in a unique style that best suits the individual.
